Story Behind The Song
My nanny died when I was eleven and it was the saddest thing ever for me. Her death caused an empty void in my heart but when I was fourteen, she sent my baby sister to us and she filled the empty void.

Lyrics
Time goes by
Every shot in the dark
Every dream must die
But I
Kept holding on
'Til the break of dawn
I knew you would come, oh baby
I prayed every night that maybe
My dream would come true
And yes it did
My life is full of passion
And the empty void in my heart
Has been filled
All because of you
Time goes by............
But as long as you are by my side
Life will be worth-while
Every morning you will see me with a smile
It'll be all because of you
Yeah it's true.........
You light up my world
I never knew a time
So full of promise
Good luck simply falling off the trees
Every day
Gets a little better
I hear you calling
I knew you would come, oh baby
I prayed every night that maybe
My dream would come true
And yes it did
My life is full of passion
And the empty void in my heart
Has been filled
All because of you
Time goes by............
But as long as you are by my side
Life will be worth-while
Every morning you will see me with a smile
It'll be all because of you
Yeah it's true.........
When I was young I used to go
To my room to listen to the radio
In those long gone days of times gone by
The songs that I heard made me laugh or cry
Night after night I lay alone
Caught the words through my headphones
Songs of joy and songs of pain
Songs to make me love again
And now that I am older and settled down
I play the old songs as I drive around
The songs that we used to sing
By the bus stop and in the rain
The times that I spent with you
Will always stay fresh and new
You will always live in me nanny
But time goes by and we need to move on
Thank god they sent another
So now my life will be recovered
Thanks to you....
Thanks to you....
Thanks to you....
Time goes by............
But as long as you are by my side
Life will be worth-while
Every morning you will see me with a smile
It'll be all because of you
Yeah it's true.........
And I wouldn't want it any other way
