Amy Grant

Your smile lights up the room
Like a candle in the dark
It warms me through and through
I guess that I had dreamed
That we would never be apart
But that dream did not come true
Missing you
Is just a part of living
Missing you
Feels like a way of life
I'm living out the life that I've been given
Baby I still wish you were mine
I cannot hear the telephone
Jangle on the wall
And not feel a hopefull thrill
And I cannot help but smile
At any news of you at all
And I guess I always will
Missing you
Is just a part of living
Missing you
Feels like a way of life
I'm living out the life that I've been given
But Baby I still wish you were mine
Missing you
Is just a part of living
Missing you
Feels like a way of life
I'm living out the life that I've been given
But Baby I still wish you were mine
I'm living out the life that I've been given
But Baby I still wish you were mine

By the time Amy Grant was nineteen, she was Contemporary Christian music’s most celebrated singer. Grant grew up in the Church of Christ where she sang for God two nights a week. As a teen, she decided to pursue a career in music, writing her first song while attending devotional meetings at her high school.

Grant recorded a demo while working as an intern at a recording studio and the owner was so impressed he signed her to his own label and released her first album Amy Grant in 1977. It spawned three top 10 songs on Billboard’s Christian Songs chart.

The following year, Grant began touring while balancing college studies. Her second album My Father’s Eyes was released in April 1979. At its record release party, she met future first husband gospel singer Gary Chapman. He’d written its title track, and it would become her first of many Christian Songs Chart-toppers. Her third album Never Alone came out in 1981 and features the #3 Christian Songs hit “Look What Has Happened To Me”.
