You Light Up My Life
Whitney Houston · Triple Feature [2010]
Waiting for someone to sing me his song
So many dreams I kept deep inside me
Alone in the dark but now
Youv've come along
Chorus:
and You light up my life
You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my day
and fill my nights with song
Rollin' at sea,adrift on the water
Could it be finally i'm turning for home
and finally, a chance to say hey,
I love you
Never again to be all alone
Cause you,(CHORUS)
Cause you,You light up my life
You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my days
and fill my nights,fill my nights with song
with song
Woooh!You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my days
and fill my nights with song
It can't be wrong
Whenit feels so right,wooooh
Cause you
You light up my life ,my love
Oh, Lord my life
