You Light Up My Life

Artist: Whitney Houston

Album: Just Whitney

Song Length: 3:41

George's Thoughts: Although this version by Whitney Houston is just a wee bit fast, I really like it because she sings it with such power. Other versions are available on strict tempo albums, but they all seem to pale in comparison. A version by Matt Monroe can be found on "The Ultimate Ballroom Album 3" and "Dance Attack! 1," and a version by the Quick and Slow band is available on "The World of Standardtanze."

Song Lyrics:

So many nights I 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 turning for home?
Finally, a chance to say hey,
I love you
Never again to be all alone

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

And you
You light up my life
You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my days
And fill my nights with song
With song
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, my life, my life, my life oooh
