You Are My Life - Lyrics

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 clear
You took away the fear
You brought me back to life

[CHORUS]
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’re my life

Now I wake up everyday
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’m a better man
You taught me by sharing your live

[CHORUS]

You gave me strength
When I wasn’t strong
You gave me hope when all hope is lost
You opened my eyes when I couldn’t see
Love was always here waiting for me

Absolutely gorgeous tune obviously inspired by the children. THANK goodness they were around to bring Michael some degree of normality and serenity and a lot of true love even in the midst of sooo much madness.

Michael hat dieses Lied als eine Liebes-Erklärung an seine Kinder geschrieben. You are my life bedeutet Ihr seid meinem Leben. Er lebte nur für seine Kinder und hat Prince, Paris und Blanket dieses Lied gewidmet

The more i hear this track, i believe it should of been put out there as a single. What i love about This track listen you get 6 songs almost at once. Its all layered like a cake with different flavours. The strings, the synth, the vocals and percussion all changeing up in the song. Its fantastic.
