You Light Up My Life
Tori Amos · Other Songs - Tori Amos
waiting for someone to sing me his song
so many dreams i kept deep inside me
alone in the dark, 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
rolling at sea, adrift on the water
could it finally be, i'm turning for home
finally a chance to say, hey, i love you
oh never again to be 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
it can't be wrong when it feels so right
cause, you light up my life

This recording highlights her capacity to breathe new life into well-known songs, offering listeners a fresh perspective on a timeless melody.
