You're The Light
1st September 1998


You're like a butterfly; free and wild
A red-haired wild child
Delicate and strong
The sweetest of songs.

I'm so glad I met you
How we made it thru
I treasure your friendship
I'll never let that slip.

Will you show me the way ahead?
I've lost sight of the road myself
Restore my sense of fun
I know that you can.

My problems are so raw
I cannot take much more
I need a door.

Open my life to the colour of your dreams
All is grey and miserable here
But you are like the sun
Warming each day for me.

Help me help myself
I will care for you
I will do that anyway
It's the least I can do.

You don't know how much you mean to me
You're like a tree in a storm
That I can shelter beneath
Like a ray of hope
In a world I can't cope with.

I do not know you face to face
But I can see the grace
Inside your soul.

You bring out the best in me
And maybe something more
I didn't know I had in store
That is worth more
Than anything before.

You deserve a standing ovation
It's you I applaud
It's you I adore
I daren't say any more
For I know it's not right
I must face each day and night alone
Goodnight, angel.

Do you see the moon outside?
So bright thru the clouds?
It shines just like you
You're the light
In my life.
