Light of My Life

Would you play this tape I made
Watch and remember where you first met me
The way you make me stay out late
Makes me forget how lonely my nights used to be

Now our fingers meet involuntarily for the first time
Romancing on the sly
Your heart fits in the sky while mine sinks in the sea
What would it be like if they're perfectly aligned

My heartaches locked me in the dark for months
Till you came and taught me I could love someone
When my sun doesn't rise and the stars don't even shine
You light up my life

Our conversation plays plays on the television on my mind
Oh when they steal you away from me
I'm hoping that you'll never leave my side

Babe it's nice that you call me your sweet little thing
And we hold hands while we make plans
And sometimes we argue and you make me mad
But I found love in you so there's no turning back

My heartaches locked me in the dark for months
Till you came and made me feel safe in your arms
Oh when my sun doesn't rise and the stars don't even shine
You light up my life

Oh he's got his beers on the side
Three cigarettes one night
If our love died beyond the grave it would still be alive
I'd hold onto you tight like you're the only lifeline that I depend on

Now my heartaches are buried deep in the ground
You make me happy even when I'm not
My rain turns to butterflies
I'll write your name in the sky
Cause you are the light of my life
You are the light of my life

I'll set your car on fire
You are the light of my life
