Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Once all alone
I was lost in a world of strangers
No one to trust
On my own, I was lonely
You suddenly appeared
It was cloudy before, but now it's all clear
You took away the fear
And you brought me back to the light
[Verse 2]
You are the sun
You make me shine
Or more like the stars
That twinkle at night
You are the moon
That glows in my heart
You're my daytime, my nighttime, my world
You are my life
[Verse 3]
Now I wake up every day
With this smile upon my face
No more tears, no more pain
'Cause you love me
You help me understand
That love is the answer to all that I am
And I, I'm a better man
Since you taught me by sharing your life
[Verse 4]
You are the sun
You make me shine
Or more like the stars
That twinkle at night
You are the moon
That glows in my heart
You're my daytime, my nighttime, my world
[Verse 5]
You are the sun
You make me shine
Or more like the stars
That twinkle at night
You are the moon
That glows in my heart
You're my daytime, my nighttime, my world
[Verse 6]
You gave me strength
When I wasn't strong
You gave me hope when all hope was lost
You opened my eyes when I couldn't see
Love was always here waiting for me
[Verse 7]
You are the sun
You make me shine
Or more like the stars
That twinkle at night
You are the moon
That glows in my heart
You're my daytime, my nighttime, my world
[Verse 8]
You are the sun (You are the sun)
You make me shine (You make me shine)
Or more like the stars (Or like the stars at nighttime)
That twinkle at night (I love you)
You are the moon (Alright now)
That glows in my heart (You're gonna shine)
You're my daytime, my nighttime, my world
[Verse 9]
You are the sun (You are the sun)
You make me shine (You make me shine)
Or more like the stars (But like the stars in the night)
That twinkle at night (I love you)
You are the moon
That glows in my heart
You're my daytime, my nighttime, my world
You are my life
