Parton, Dolly - Shine Lyrics






Gimme a word, gimme a sign
Show me where to look
And tell me what will I find
What will I find
Lay me on the ground
Fly me in the sky
Show me where to look
And tell me what will I find
What will I find

Yeah, oh
Heaven let your light shine down, ohh
Heaven let your light shine down, ohh
Heaven let your light shine down, ohh
Heaven let your light shine

Love is in the water
Love is in the air
Show me where to go
And tell me will love be there
Will love be there
Teach me how to speak
Teach me how to share
Teach me where to go
And tell me will love be there
Will love be there

Yeah, oh
Heaven let your light shine down, ohh
Heaven let your light shine down, ohh
Heaven let your light shine down, ohh
Heaven let your light shine

Gimme a word, gimme a sign
Show me where to look
And tell me what will I find
What will I find
Lord, teach me how to speak
Teach me how to share
Teach me where to go
And tell me will love be there
Will love be there

Yeah, oh
Heaven let your light shine down, ohh
Heaven let your light shine down, ohh
Heaven let your light shine down, ohh
Heaven let your light shine

Oh, heaven let your light shine down
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine
Heaven let your light shine down
Let it shine
Heaven let your light shine down
Shine, heaven let your light shine down
Heaven let your light shine down

Shine, shine
Just gimme a word
Gimme a sign, shine
Let it shine, let it shine
Teach me how to share
Teach me where to go
Tell me will love be there, shine

Parton, Dolly Shine Comments
  1. S.... ....

    Here's a link to Shine performed by Collective Soul...and front man Ed Roland who wrote this song. There is no better version: https://youtu.be/64UAiuKP8qU

  2. G.... M....

    When you have nickel creek and Jerry Douglas in the band it’s going to be good. Nice one Dolly.

  3. K.... W....

    I just love this version. Almost better than collective soul

  4. P.... ....

    Because of this version, it's going to be sung in every church ever.

  5. D.... G....

    I love both versions..
    Great Job Dolly!
    XO

  6. s.... ....

    Absolutely beautiful song from a beautiful human.

  7. K.... H....

    Nice cover, despite cutting the riffs in half
    but the music video director should be fired. No wonder it doesn't have the usual music video credits, in favor of that title slate

  8. J.... P....

    I honestly think Dolly could sing the names out of a phone book and make it a hit! She's THAT good!

  9. B.... E....

    That was just plain FINE. What a gem.

  10. A.... R....

    One of my all time favorite remakes what's up nickel Creek!!! Hola

  11. J.... C....

    collective Soul asked her to record it.....thankyou

    J.... C....

    Here's what Ed Roland says about it: https://youtu.be/QIMZX7KfeAU

  12. J.... C....

    she wrote the song....dolly is a beautiful song writer

    J.... C....

    She did NOT write this. Ed Roland from Collective Soul wrote it.

  13. M.... ....

    This is probably as close to metal as these guys have ever been well except the mandolin player. The girl on the fiddle was slayin that solo part.

  14. E.... D....

    Jerry Douglas on Dobro, Chris Theile on Mandolin, and Sara Watkins on Fiddle, maybe Earl Scruggs Jr. on Banjo... not sure who is playing guitar...

    E.... D....

    Erik Durnall Jim Mills is on banjo

  15. R.... T....

    Is that Jerry Douglas on the slide guitar

  16. M.... P....

    Love Dolly Parton and this cover. Please check out my Grade 4/5 students covering Shine, loosely inspired by this cover : https://youtu.be/NiKo1YiFJU4 Apologies for the poor audio quality/balance.

  17. B.... M....

    I think it’s so awesome how she worked in that little snippet of the old children’s spiritual, “This Little Light of Mine,” by singing “Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine” to that melody, tying in something very old and familiar to herself, into someone else’s song.

  18. S.... B....

    I don't like country music at all [although this is more on the bluegrass side], but this is amazing! Such a nice rendition of a marvelous song.

  19. A.... J....

    I do not believe there is an end mark to your talent, Dolly. Gifted beyond measure kinda says it just fine. Love you.

  20. M.... Q....

    I Love It

  21. S.... B....

    1 of the best remakes ever, she is the bomb!

  22. D.... ....

    I like Dolly's voice with this but the background music really isn't for me.

  23. r.... ....

    ......and Nickel Creek!!

  24. Y.... C....

    This is one one of my favorite covers of all time. This is Cash level good. Dolly you're a true legend.

  25. M.... J....

    Totally shocked and amazed..... Not a country or bluegrass fan but this is awesome..... I thought when I saw it I would hate it... But it is actually DAMN good....

  26. H.... R....

    There is another really good version of this that I heard on the radio , but I never heard the name of the band because it was time to get out of the car. I REALLY love both C.S's and Dolly's versions even though they are very different .

  27. V.... o....

    Damn, she sure can do some covers. Just realized she did this and Stairway, wtf. NAILED THEM. Her voice is made for harmonies! I will say this song does sound much better when heavier though :D

  28. V.... ....

    Dolly added this song to the Fandom’s Ruined FOREVER list.

  29. C.... G....

    Great message and great performance of one of the greatest country music artists. If I only had the answers of these questions...

  30. G.... C....

    Dolly can get a song across like nobody else.

  31. N.... ....

    Was not expecting this from someone like Dolly. Yeah? Yeah..!

  32. C.... B....

    Love all that picking

  33. J.... A....

    She is truly a inspiration 💙😇💙🙏👏

  34. R.... ....

    I adore the original AND this one just as much.....Dolly is universal, as is our music.

  35. T.... T....

    Dolly won the 2001 Grammy for Best Female Country Vocal for this song... Ed Roland was "incredibly flattered" by her cover, and said the original was basically a demo to get a record deal. Amazing. Both versions are superb.

  36. T.... D....

    OMG a Collective Soul cover. Good job Dolly!

  37. M.... Y....

    Evergreen song 👌👌👌

  38. L.... W....

    sing it Dolly love you and Collective Soul

  39. J.... L....

    This song- the way Dolly sings- makes me cry.

  40. P.... T....

    Wow, this is a GREAT cover!

  41. M.... W....

    Thank You Dolly you are one awesome performer

  42. M.... W....

    sweet sound love my country music :-)

  43. k.... M....

    This song earn Dolly Parton Grammy Award

  44. J.... D....

    Awesome version! Is that Nickel Creek backing her up?

  45. L.... m....

    Dolly can make anything shine..

  46. A.... ....

    Excellent version of this song! Dolly & my mom are the only people who when I hear them sing, I cry.

  47. L.... m....

    Dolly: your grass is blue...love it

  48. C.... C....

    Outstanding, Dolly!!!!!

  49. D.... P....

    Great voice,great musicans

  50. L.... m....

    Love Dolly...knows all about Shine...great album..dedicated to her daddy...

  51. c.... ....

    I love this version

  52. E.... M....

    Amazing!!

  53. D.... P....

    The best bluegrass that i've heard How i love dolly parton,songs,Here in Spain they don't know that kind of music,That's way I don't feel Spanish

  54. O.... B....

    That was amazing!💘

  55. D.... P....

    I love that song, i love dolly

  56. M.... M....

    beautiful
    and heavy in it's own right

  57. B.... R....

    The harmonies present in this tune are Heaven! Read somewhere where a couple of past band members from'Collective Soul' said they liked Dolly's version of this wonderful tune more than the one they'd cut! Now that's a major complement.

  58. O.... D....

    One of the things I loved about this video was that it included Nickel Creek. Unfortunately I cannot recall who the other instrumentalists were.

  59. R.... J....

    Happy Blessed Birthday Dolly. My favorite beautiful song Dolly .

  60. R.... J....

    I wish they had given credit in the video to the other musicians: Jerry Douglas-Dobro, Olivia Smiley-fiddle, Barry Bales-bass, Chris Thile-mandolin and Jim Mills-banjo

  61. T.... I....

  62. k.... ....

    Integrity...

  63. R.... H....

    THIS IS AN AMAZING COVER!! LOVE YOU DOLLY! I AM SURE COLLECTIVE SOUL WAS PLEASED WITH HOW YOU PERFORMED THEIR SONG. SAME MESSAGE DIFFERENT GENRES.

  64. S.... Q....

    Amen Young Lady. Please lead Miley in the right direction, She can learn So Soooo much from you.

  65. K.... S....

    A great cover, thank you for posting this, sending love from Western Australia

  66. J.... M....

    Dolly is so amazing. This is my favorite Dolly song. Her sweet vocals and N.C. killin it on the pickin create a Blue Grass Masterpiece.

    J.... M....

    James McDowell it’s a Collective Soul song...

  67. E.... C....

    I just realized. That is the group Nickle Creek behind. Awesome job

  68. R.... K....

    Is that Jerry Douglas on the dobro? Maybe even the rest of Allison Krauss and Union Station in the video?

    R.... K....

    Russ K 2 members of Nickel Creek. Sara Watkins on fiddle and Chris Thile on mandolin.

  69. n.... N....

    One of the best voices ever.

    n.... N....

    and the musical accompaniment here is impeccable. so good.

  70. K.... K....

    I *love* this cover, but I'm looking for a recording that doesn't have the bass all blown out like this; anyone know what's up with that?

    K.... K....

    O shit. Nevermind, my earbuds just blew out; probably couldn't handle Dolly's mojo.

  71. B.... R....

    the best pickers, players, with the best singer= an incredible song and video

  72. J.... T....

    Big tits!

  73. z.... g....

    I dont listen to dolly but that was a good version, it fits.

  74. A.... T....

    Damn her voice is great for this song.

  75. T.... ....

    Dolly Parton is the original GILF.

  76. T.... ....

    Is that Sara Watkins on fiddle?

    T.... ....

    wait! and Dan Taminski (sp?) and Chris Thile? WHo are all these instrumentalists?

    T.... ....

    No, not Dan Tyminski. It is, however, the other two-fifths of AKUS: Jerry Douglas on the Dobro, and Barry Bales on the Bass. So between them and the other two (plus acoustic guitar player I don't recognize), Ms. Parton clearly has enough clout to poach just about anybody she wants from pretty much any band in the Western Hemisphere.

    T.... ....

    The acoustic guitarist is Sean Watkins. He, Chris Thile, and Sarah Watkins are the bluegrass/fusion trio Nickel Creek

  77. m.... t....

    So nice song! Congratulations!

  78. a.... s....

    WOW! This blew me away! What an awesome GOSPEL song she turned this into! ANOINTED! PRAISE KING JESUS!

  79. C.... M....

    as I sit in my cabin in the foothills of tennessee, heaven is shining down. love you dolly.

  80. R.... A....

    happy birthday

  81. B.... E....

    Love Collective Soul... but Dolly Parton's got to be about 80 year's old and she looks awesome. The guys in Collective Soul are my age and they look like they're 80...

    B.... E....

    Ben E ..not bad for 70's zone yes

    B.... E....

    Ben E 72 today Dolly My favorite singer and Ann

    B.... E....

    Well I mean, her body may be that old but all the chemicals in her face that are holding it together are much younger.

    B.... E....

    Oh my God you idiot she's 73

  82. M.... K....

    Original done by Collective Soul in 1993 .. but I do love our gal, Dolly doing this version!!

    M.... K....

    I'm partial to Dolly Parton's version of this song too.

  83. A.... R....

    Love her so much<3

  84. K.... ....

    I remember hearing this back in 2001 on 95.1 the Fox in Montgomery AL they had live callers call in to say what they thought.

    First caller said " THAT FUCKING SUCKED" click.

    I was thinking to myself... Well said sir

    K.... ....

    The only good thing about Dolly is her gigantic tits.
    Take those away and she'd be working as a Waffle House waitress now

    K.... ....

    BuRgLaR187 and still a doosh bag.

    K.... ....

    For someone that you think sucks, she is worth over half a billion dollars made from music and she does more for her community where she grew up in a year than you could ever possibly do in your entire life. Plus it is all a matter of opinion and perspective. If al you have is negative things to say, keep your opinion to yourself.

    K.... ....

    Wow......the best thing that could happen to you is cancer. Rot.

    K.... ....

    You are a sad individual. Pathetic

  85. O.... T....

    beautiful version... shes so cute

  86. J.... r....

    i remember collective soul early,  then remember leaving SCC, stoping by the old house, driving to merle fest 2001-2002? and seeing Nickle creek coming out on the cabin stage, now this...instant classic

  87. K.... A....

    OMG how could I miss this pearl .

    K.... A....

    It is quite obvious brother like myself we did not miss it because we are here. Namaste peace within your SOUL. (((( <3 )))) (75) Jesus said, "Many are standing at the door, but it is the solitary who will enter the bridal chamber."

  88. C.... S....

    It's like a train wreck. You can't not watch it.

  89. B.... O....

    I just love me some Dolly...What a great job on this song.

    B.... O....

    Bryan Orso You do know it's a cover right?

  90. i.... ....

    I love both Collective Soul and Dolly's version of such a beautiful and lyrically powerful song.

    i.... ....

    Ed Roland said in an interview that Dolly's version is his favorite.

  91. T.... ....

    I was a high schooler listening to Collective Soul, This blew me away when I heard it first.

    T.... ....

    same here

  92. n.... 1....

    Shocked ... pretty good. Great song she made it work.

    n.... 1....

    Of course, Dolly makes any song work.

  93. L.... M....

    Beautiful...inspiring!

  94. C.... C....

    I remember being like 3 or 4 and listening to this song, singing "hevva lesha liesha demma" 😝 instead of "heaven let your light shine down" 🙂

    C.... C....

    I always thought it was "have to let your light shine down" xD

  95. C.... C....

    Love seeing the members of Nickel Creek

    C.... C....

    Me too! Forgot they were apart of this.

  96. J.... L....

    Awesome!

  97. H.... M....

    Am feel as though I am the only one who absolutely hates everything about her

    H.... M....

    You are.

    H.... M....

    Hectoes Music anyone who hates Dolly Parton doesn't know a thing about her legacy as a human.

    H.... M....

    Hectoes Music your a doosh

    H.... M....

    Like, can I ask why? What the hell did she ever do to you?

  98. R.... B....

    Sharing info. We all benefit,give and take. Thanks.
