lyrics

You came out of the blue when there was no colour
That’s the kind of luck you need when you’re a stranger in town
We must have been digging a path towards each other
As this old world slowly turns around

Oh Jackie let Your light shine through
Oh Jackie there’s nobody quite like you
Oh Jackie Jackie Mittoo
Won’t you shine your light
There is nobody else like you

I was young then when you fell like rain
Rocksteady all around my brain
Lead me on light my way
Lead me on drive my blues away.

Oh Jackie let your light shine through
Oh Jackie there’s nobody quite like you
Oh Jackie Jackie Mittoo
Won’t you shine your light
There is nobody else like you
