You Are The Light

I tried to get it right
You don't know how I tried
But nothing I've ever done
Has ever been enough

I know how it goes
Oh God how I know
Is there nothing I can say or sing
That would resonate and ring within you?

What's a man gotta do to deserve your love?
You don't know how I tried

Cos you are the light
You're everything that's beautiful in this world
And perhaps I might, one fine day, say this to your face

If there really is a God and you are His creation
Then I guess I owe Him some sort of oblation

Cos all the poetry and songs; a book a thousand pages long
Could only ever give a glimmer
Of your brilliance that
Brought me from the winter

I never knew the joys of spring until I heard you sing

Now you are the light
You're everything that's beautiful in this world
And perhaps I might, one fine day, say this to your face

But lover let me know
One thing before you go
When you look out at the North Sea
Do you ever think of me?
Cos when the day is done
And the night has come
All I want is for you to
Sleep in my arms
Let's share the darkness together

Now you are the light
You're everything that's beautiful in this world
And perhaps I might, one fine day, say this to your face

You can radiate everything you are
You little luminary
But don't it just feel so far?
Oh, sweet sweet sweet XXXX
