You light up my life like sunshine in the morning
You make me believe that anything is possible
Mmm, I didn't have a dream to my name
Darkness was mine, oh it was a shame
But you came to light up my life
You brought me faith, and hope, and love, and light

With your tender smile
You brought me to the promise
Of life outside a world of nine-to-five and Sunday
Oh, I didn't know how rich I could be
Oh, until you gave, you gave your love to me, baby
You light up my life
You give me faith, and hope, and love, and light

You brought your sweet understanding
Like sunrays in my hazy sky
If you hadn't opened up my eyes
Love would have passed me right on by, right on by

Oh baby, you light up my life like sunshine in the morning
You make me believe that anything, anything is possible
Mmm, I never knew how good I could feel
Loving you's left me with nothing to conceal baby

You really light up my life
You give me faith, and hope, and love, and light
You give me faith
You give me hope
You give me love... and light

Barbra Streisand is an Oscar-winning, Tony-winning, Emmy-winning, Golden Globe-winning Broadway legend, film star, movie director and one of the biggest-selling recording artists of all time - a staggering amount of accomplishments for someone whose mother insisted she not to go into show business.

By the time she was sixteen, she’d graduated high school and was living on her own in Manhattan. After winning a talent contest at a gay bar on West 9th Street, Streisand’s ‘spellbinding’ voice quickly became popular at New York clubs and in Broadway shows. After appearances on a number of popular television shows including The Tonight Show, Streisand signed with Columbia Records and released several top 10 albums in the 1960s, scoring two US top 40 hits with “People” and “Second Hand Rose”.

Her success as a recording artist continued through the 1970s with several more gold/platinum-certified albums and four US “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers”, “No More Tears”, the Oscar-winning “The Way We Were”, and the Academy Award-winning “Evergreen (Love Theme from A Star Is Born)”. The 1980s would begin with Streisand’s biggest-selling release of her career Guilty, a collaborative effort with BeeGees member Barry Gibb. It topped the albums chart in several countries and as did its lead single “Woman In Love”.
