Lyrics

So man y nights

I’d sit by my win dow

wait ing for some one

to sing me his song.

So man y dreams

I kept deep in side me, a lone in the dark,

but now you’ve come a long.

And you

light up my life.

You give me hope

to car ry on.

You light up my days

and fill my nights

with song.

Roll in’ at sea,

a drift on the wa ters,

could it be fi n’lly

I’m turn ing for home.

Fi n’lly a chance

to say, “Hey!

I love you.” a Nev er a gain

to now be all a lone.

And you

light up my life.

You give me hope

to car ry on.

You light up my days

and fill my nights

with song.

nights

with song.

nights

with

song.

It can’t be wrong

when it feels so right,

’cause you,

you light up my life.
