Josephina (Album Version)

Josephina - Van Halen (範·海倫)

Josephina there's so much I want to know

I've known you for all of mine

But not all of yours

You're not a stranger

No nothing could be further

I look back and I wonder

What you were like long before

Josephina if I asked you would you tell me

The fact from the fancy

And the dreams in between

Tell me a story

All about yours truly

Photographs from the past

Imagine the mystery

Didja get your head lost in a daydream

Cinderella waiting for her charming

Did ya break a heart like little girls often do

Pigtails and painted toes

All dressed up in your mother's clothes

Can you shine the light

Ah can you shine the light

Oh please can you shine some light

Yeah can you shine the light

Shine the light on a shadow

Josephina would you lay down your defenses

So I can make sense of

Those colors fading to grey

It's not that you're hiding

Something I'd never imply

Yesteryear I may be gone

Can't say the same for today

Yeah Josephina

How else am I to know that all the while

There was a mischievous look behind that smile

It's hard to tell when innocence comes and goes

I'm sure that there were times life could be unkind

Without a shoulder to cry on

Can you shine the light

Ah can you shine the light

Yeah please can you shine some light

Yeah can you shine the light

Yeah can you shine the light

Shine the light on a shadow
