So many nights I'd sit by my window

waitin' for someone to sing me a song

So many dreams, I kept deep inside me,

alone in the dark, but now you've come along!



And you light up my life,

you give me hope to carry on,

you light up my days and fill my nights

with song!







Rollin' at sea, adrift on the water,

could it be finally I'm turnin' for home?

Finally a chance to say "Hey! I love you!"

never again to be all alone!



'Cause you light up my life,

you give me hope to carry on,

you light up my days an' fill my nights

with song!



You light up my life,

you give me hope to carry on,

you light up my days and fill my nights

with song!



It can't be wrong

when it feels so right

'cause you

you light up my life!
