Verse 1]
I was driftin’ low, like a midnight train
Rollin’ through the shadows, soaked in rain
Had a heart full o’ sorrow, a mind full o’ doubt
But she walked on in, and the dark walked out
[Verse 2]
She touched my hand, Lord, I felt it all change
Like the sun breakin’ through the windowpane
Her smile, it sings like a sweet gospel choir
Liftin’ me higher, settin’ my soul on fire
[Chorus]
Ohhh, she brings the light when the night gets too long
She’s the reason this broken man’s strong
Every tear, every fight, fades in her eyes so bright
She don’t even try… she just brings the light
[Verse 3]
I was half a man, barely holdin’ on
But her love wrapped around me, soft and strong
Now the cold winds come, but I don’t feel a thing
She’s my shelter, my summer, my everything
[Bridge]
Some folks chase fortune, some chase the flame
But I found heaven when she whispered my name
She saw the good in the pieces of me
And turned my blues into harmony
[Chorus]
Ohhh, she brings the light when the dark pulls me in
Like the first Sunday morning after sin
She don’t preach, she just shines, makes the wrong feel right
Lord, she don’t even try… she just brings the light
[Outro – slow and tender]
When my time comes, and I walk that last mile
I’ll go with peace… just thinkin’ of her smile
’Cause I lived in the warmth of her soul every night…
Oh my baby… she brought me the light…
