HE SHINES (For Kostas)
He was a talented young man
He was a generous young man
He was gifted and from a tender young age
He had rhythm in his hands
And when I met him, in the club that night
As we talked, I felt in my heart
That one day I’ll be watching him
Playing with the Stars
He shines, He shines, He shines
Kostas, play for me …
Thank you for the music
Thank you for the rhythm
Thank you for the spirit
Thank you for the dedication
Ευχαριστώ
And when I met you, in the club that night
As we talked, I felt in my heart
That one day I’ll be watching you
Playing with the Stars
You shine …
(Words by Michael Dravigny & Jo Ann Pickens)
