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!

< instrumental break >

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!
