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.
