"I hope I'm not living in a dream....
        If I am, then I would like to wake up with you by my side...
        That's all I want for my life and nothing more....
        If not you, then there'll be nobody...
        If not now, then it will never be....
        If not in this lifetime, then I'll never be born again,
        for it will take generations to find you..."

        You gave me wings and made me fly, 
        
        You touched my hand I could touch the sky,
        
        I lost my faith, you gave it back to me,
        
        You said no star was out of reach, 
        
        You stood by me and I stood tall, 
        
        I had your love I had it all,
        
        I'm grateful for each day you gave me, 
        
        Maybe I don't know that much,
        
        But I know this much is true, 
        
        I was blessed because I was loved by you.

        A  light in the dark,
        Bbm
        shining your love into my life, 

        Ebm

        You've been my inspiration,

        My world is a better place because of you
         

        CHORUS

        You saw the best there was in me
        
        Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
        
        You gave me faith 'coz you believed
        
        I'm everything I am
        
        Because you loved me
        I'm everything I am
