She's wearing glitter on her shoes again today
Even though her steps ain't quite the same
There's sequins on her sweater, silver in her hair
Still trying to catch the light from her chair
Verse 2:
The sunset on the water, the moonshine on the lake
Every sparkle in this world seemed to know her name
Like she had some kinship with all that catches light
A kindred soul to everything that shines
Verse 3:
We didn't always see things eye to eye back then
Sometimes her words would cut me like the wind
But I'm finally understanding what she couldn't say
She just wanted me to shine in my own way
Chorus:
All that glitter, all that shine
Wasn't just the way she dressed, it was her heart on display
Spent her whole heart trying to make others see
The light she saw in them, the way they could be
She wore her sparkle on the outside every day
Just hoping we'd catch a glint along the way
Bridge:
And all those times I thought we were just worlds apart
She was standing right beside me, trying to show me my own heart
Not above me, not below me, just eye to eye
Desperate for me to see the shine that she saw inside
Chorus:
All that glitter, all that shine
Wasn't just the way she dressed, it was her heart on display
Spent her whole heart trying to make others see
The light she saw in them, the way they could be
She wore her sparkle on the outside every day
Just hoping we'd catch a glint along the way
Outro:
She's wearing glitter on her shoes today
More beautiful than I ever knew
'Cause I finally understand
What all the sparkle means
