So many nights I'd sit by my window 多少个夜里坐在窗前

Waiting for someone to sing me the song 等你为我唱这首歌

So many dreams I kept deep inside me 多少次梦里踽踽独行

Alone in the dark, but now you've come along 直到你来驱走黑夜

And you light up my life 是你将我人生点燃

You give me hope to carry on 给我希望继续前行

You light up my days 是你给我带来光明

And fill my nights with song 每个夜晚充满欢乐

Rolling at sea I drift on the waters 波浪翻滚身似浮萍

Could it be finally I'm turning for home 只要这是朝家奔波

Finally a chance to say, "Hey, I Love You" 终于可以诉诸衷肠

Never again to be all alone 再也不会寂寞无措

And you light up my life 是你将我人生点燃

You give me hope to carry on 给我希望继续前行

You light up my days 是你给我带来光明

And fill my nights with song 每个夜晚充满欢乐

It can't be wrong when it feels so right 所有一切不是幻觉

'Cause you light up my life 因为有你光明使者
