Month of Love Songs Challenge Day 25

Song: You Are My Life

Artist: Michael Jackson

 

I'm just going to stop apologizing when I post a Michael Jackson song. It's just that I've been discovering a lot of "new" music by MJ that is all too beautiful not to post. Today's love song is different from all of my other love song posts. Today's song is about love for family. And not romantic love. Michael wrote this song for/about his children. I love that! The words are especially sweet knowing Michael's circumstances and the painful, lonely life he endured. What a beautiful tribute to his children, the only people (outside of his immediate family; his parents and siblings) who truly loved him for who he was, their daddy. And who he loved more than anything in the world. You can hear it in every single word of this tender, heartfelt song. This song is so precious. And I can totally relate it to my family. I love them so much. I am so grateful for them. They truly are "my life." I know I am so incredibly blessed to have them in my life. They love me for me. They accept me just the way I am. They always see the best in me. I am so grateful for families and that I get to be a part of one. I love them with my whole heart and soul. They're "my daytime, my night time my world, they are my life."

 

 

 

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, now it's all clear
You took away the fear
And you brought me back to the light

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 are 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, I'm a better man
Since you taught me by sharing your life

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

 

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 are the sun (you are the sun!)
You make me shine (you make me shine!)
Or more like the stars (more like the stars, the night time, I love you!)
That twinkle at night
You are the moon
That glows in my heart
You're my daytime my nighttime
My world
You are the sun (you are the sun!)
You make me shine (you make me shine!)
Or more like the stars (more like the stars, the night time, I love you!)
That twinkle at night
You are the moon
That glows in my heart
You're my daytime my nighttime
My world
You are my life
 

 

HAPPY LOVE MONTH!

*This is how I will feel when I have the blessed oppurtunity to become a mother. Those opening words pull at my heart. I know those will be the exact feelings I will have. The whole second verse will also be my thoughts and feelings towards my precious children. I cannot wait to be a mother! I want children so badly!
