Van Halen - Josephina lyrics

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!

(Guitar Solo)

Ah, 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

(Ah-ah-ah)

(Ah-ah-ah)

(Ah-ah-ah
