Soul doctor man
Can you lend a helping hand
I'm sure I don't understand

Soul doctor man
Can you lend a helping hand
I think I used to be alive

Since she moved on
My heart has grown forlorn
I'm not sure I will survive

Her ruby lips
I long to kiss
Are forever reserved to my mind's eye

Daddy's shine baby's gone
It's hard to carry on
Gone up into the sky

Daddy's shine baby's gone
It's hard to carry on
Tears they fill my eyes

So soul doctor man
Can you help me understand
I'm sure I can if I try

Soul doctor man
Can you lend a helping hand
Guide me unto the light

The clatter of her tongue
Things we left undone
Our conversation's in the middle of the night

Daddy's shine baby's gone
It's hard to carry on
Gone up into the sky

Daddy's shine baby's gone
It's hard to carry on
Dry the tears from my eyes

Shine baby, shine, shine on
With the angels on high
Shine baby, shine, shine on
Shine, shine, shine on

Soul doctor man
I still don't understand
But I think now it will be all right
