lyrics
Here I stand in the cool of the dying day
Birds fly home above
The setting sun is ablaze in the western sky
And my heart burning with love
Cos your love lights up my life
Your laughter my soul
The setting sun is ablaze in the western sky
And my heart burns with love
I could have all the wealth in this great big world
All things old and new
But there’s not one precious thing in this whole world
could compare with you
Cos your love lights up my life
Your laughter my soul
There’s not one precious thing in the whole of this world
Could ever compare with you
I could find myself in a darkened place.
No light from above
I’d just turn my thoughts to your smiling face
To find the light of your love
Your love lights up my life
Your laughter my soul
I’d just turn my thoughts to your smiling face
To find the light of your love
Sweet dreams fill the soft of the velvet night
To drive cares away
And when you take my hand in the morning bright
Then we will dance through the day
Your love lights up my life
Your laughter my soul
And when you take my hand in the morning bright
We will dance through the day
