You Light Up My Life
Vocabulary from LeAnn Rimes: 'You Light Up My Life'.
So many nights, I'd sit by my window
Waiting for someone to sing me his 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
