Josephina Songtext
von Van Halen

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

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)
