Lyrics
The Light
Head tossed back
wind in your hair
your laughter contagious
I had to stare
I saw my future
that very day
I knew in that moment
I had to stay
It was the way the light
the way the light shined on you
It was the way the light
the way the light shined on you
Thiry years later
the kids are all grown
I'm here standing
in our house alone
Life here without you
hurts every day
I know you're with
when the sun lights my way
It was the way the light
the way the light shined on you
It was the way the light
the way the light shined on you
But your so far away
and I love you every day
I want to feel your hand in mine
how will I pass the time
til I see the light
I see the light shine on you
until I see the light
I see the light shine on you
It was the way the light
the way the light shined on you
It was the way the light
the way the light shined on you
