There is beauty to be found in each sight and every sound

It is everywhere around us every moment

Though there was a time for me when this light I couldn't see

As I stumbled through the darkness of night

But what cannot be denied since I've left behind my youth

Is my heart's been opened wide in my quest to find the truth

      

What I thought I always knew in my callow point of view

Doesn't please me or convince me anymore

But I will not let the past cast my future full of doubt

As I understand at last what my life is all about

     

You are my life

You mean everything to me

All the joy that you bring to me

Fills my heart with pure emotion

Like a child full of wonder sees the heaving restless ocean

Kiss the sky it's lying under on a steamy summer night

You have made my whole life new

With the joy of loving

      

Since my lost soul I have found I have turned my heart around

To become a living canvas of light

Now I'm painting with my dreams fleeting images I see

Of life's ever-changing scenes with you always here with me

      

You are my life

You mean everything to me

All the joy that you bring to me

Fills my heart with pure emotion

Like a child for the first time seeing stars above

Yes you are my life

And you will always mean the world to me

You have thrilled me with desire

With an ever-burning fire of the love that you inspire

And its flames keep rising higher

Lighting up the darkest night

You have made my whole life new

With the joy of loving

With the joy of loving you
