I was just a stone in the bottom of the river that caught your eye
The way the light cast on me
But I don't really glow it's just the ripples and the waves of the water
And the way the light shone on me
Chorus:
So why should I be surprised
That my shine had caught your eye
But I knew that you would put me down in time
When I no longer shined
I was just a round old geode that someone cracked open
In some Grandma's flower garden
And my jagged angles glowed in the sunlight among the tulips
Just fools gold for children
So why should I be surprised
That my shine had caught your eye
But I knew that you would put me down in time
When I no longer shined
Oh it seems to take a lifetime to achieve perfection
In your maker's eyes
But it only takes an instant to lose the attention
Or the sparkle in a young beholder's eyes
When you no longer shine
I was just a singer in a bar with a beat up guitar
And a sack full of songs at my show
And I caught your eye and I suppose you had a fancy
For things under lights that seemed to glow
So why should I be surprised
That my shine had caught your eye
But I knew that you would put me down in time
When I no longer shined
