BY THE LIGHT OF YOUR LOVE

©1998 Walter Crockett    ... as sung by Valerie
From Valerie & Walter Crockett's Moonbone on the Big Bark label.

Hello, no nothing's wrong
I called to say I wrote a song
About our childhood days
About the time he went away
And you refused to cry
Refused to learn the word goodbye
You taught us how to laugh
Although your heart was torn in half

CHORUS:
And by the light of your love
On a cold and starless night
We could always read our future
In a world where the sun would shine bright
And though our dreams wandered off
And we sometimes lost our way
We could find it by the light
We could find it by the light of your love

And now he's really gone
The one you loved your whole life long
You've had to learn to cry
You'll have to try to say goodbye
And I'd give all I had
To trade my good times for your bad
To be there for you now
For you're the one who showed us how

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Fairy tales and nursery rhymes
Songs about the good old times
And all the gifts that got us through
Were wrapped up in this love from you

Hello, we're home again
Just for a while, we don't pretend
To know the words to say
We're only here to help the day
Bring sun to you who were
The one who had to guide us through
The coldest, darkest night
We've come home to return your light

REPEAT CHORUS
