Light of My Life Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Today, to you, I'm invisible
Tomorrow, you may still be out of reach
But someday, you and I will be possible
We'll be alone, making love on the beach
By then we won't remember what it was like
Before you and I fell in love
We were at a knot together in this life
Hard to imagine the way it was

[Chorus]
You are the light of my life
My little piece of the pie
American beauty, apple of my eye
You are the light of my life

[Verse 2]
I've heard people say that if they could
Do it all over again, they never would
It's better to have loved someone and lost
Than to have never loved at all
I am not afraid to give my heart
Even though it don't know I exist
'Cause in my sleep, you hold me close in the dark
A million times I've tasted your lips
[Chorus]
You are the light of my life
My little piece of the pie
American beauty, apple of my eye
You are the light of my life

[Bridge]
I'm saving myself for you
There is no wait long enough
Ain't no way I'm giving up
Maybe I'm a fool
But nothing makes me feel so right
Than dreaming about you at night

[Chorus]
You are the light of my life
My little piece of the pie
American beauty, apple of my eye
You are the light of my life
You are the light of my life
My little piece of the pie
American beauty, apple of my eye
You are the light of my life
Light of my life

What did Shania Twain say about "Light of My Life"?
Genius Answer

Light of my life was one of my favorite songs to record. I love the vocal arrangement and the harmonies. It’s got a retro feel to it. The song is really all about someone I can’t have and I love that, I’ve felt that so many times as a teenager, especially, you know, you love someone, they don’t even know you exist. That’s what song is all about. But it’s still, “I don’t care, man, I’ll wait forever if I have to you’re the light of my life”.
