You Are My Light-dustbox

When I was 16, I found your songs

I listened to them over and over again

On my car stereo while making deliveries

I almost wore out the cassette tape

There's no doubt about it

You brought light into my boring daily life

You are my light

You always let me forget my sadness

You are my light

You always keep my dreams from falling apart

We'll always stay young and keep

dreaming our dreams now and forever more

Every time I listen to your songs

I always feel it's right

The years passed and I listened to my own demo

with my bad guitar as I worked

I listened countless times and rewrote it

I had to be better than you, I sighed…

My troubles never seemed to end

But I still had a blast each and every day

You are my light

You always let me forget my sadness

You are my light

You always keep my dreams from falling apart

We'll always stay young and keep

dreaming our dreams now and forever more

Every time I listen to your songs

I always feel it's right

A pile of crumpled up paper

A pen rolls across my desk

I was lost in my thoughts alone in my room

wishing I could see you someday

The words float and sink

My ashtray is overflowing with cigarette butts

The sunlight comes through the curtain

It's morning again, I laugh…

You are my light

You always let me forget my sadness

You are my light

You always keep my dreams from falling apart

We'll always stay young and keep

dreaming our dreams now and forever more

Every time I listen to your songs

I always feel it's right (feel it's right)

I always feel it's right (feel it's right)

I always feel it's right

You are my light…
