So many nights
I'd sit by my window
Waiting for someone
To sing me her 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 waters
Could it be finally
I'm turning for home
Finally a chance
To say
"Hey, I Love You"
Never again to be
All alone
And you
Light up my life
You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my days
And fill my nights
With song
You, 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
