You Were My Light

You were my light
 Ever since the first day
 That I met you
 I knew that I could not forget you
 And though all your friends said
 You are no good for me
 All they had to give
 Was their sympathy
 They say I'm not the man
 That I used to be
 I guess that's the way
 That it had to be
 'Cause you were my light
 My wrong and my right
 You were my sight
 My day and my night
 You are the one who took the time
 To understand
 Showed me what it was
 To be your man
 And lord knows if I hurt you
 I hope you understood
 That I was just trying to do
 What I thought was good
 You say I'm not the man
 That I used to be
 I guess that's the way
 That it had to be
 You were my light
 My wrong and my right
 You were my sight
 My day and my night
 Now that your memory
 Begins to fade
 I can't help a crying
 Bout the games we played
 And though I never, never
 See your face again
 No I feel the same
 Right to begin
 You say I'm not the man
 That I used to be
 I guess that's the way
 That it had to be
 You were my light
 My wrong and my right
 You were my sight
 My day and my night
