You Light up My Life Lyrics

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 water
Could it be finally I'm turnin' for home?
Finally a chance to say, "Hey, I love you"
Never again to be all alone

'Cause you light up my life
You give me hope to carry on
You light up my days and fill my nights with song

'Cause 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

Cover art for You Light up My Life lyrics by Debby Boone

"Although written as a love song, Boone interpreted the song as inspirational and stated that she recorded the song for God." -- Wikipedia

I was about 3 years old when this song was popular and I really liked it back then. It doesn't hold up for me, though, despite the fact that I like a lot of schmaltzy songs. And although I'm agnostic, I actually love many gospel songs and hymns. But not this one.
