[Verse 1]
Baby, I've been livin' in the dark
The only friend I got here's my broken heart
Feelin' like I've finally had enough
Livin' like an animal can be so rough

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been waitin' so long for you to come my way
And now I, I can't wait another day

[Chorus]
When you hold me, I finally see
When you say love, I know what it means
I was broke down so alone in the dark
Until you showed me the light (baby)
'Cause when you kiss me, I know who I am
And when you let me feel it I understand
When I'm lost I just look in your eyes
You show me the meaning of life
Meaning of life, life, life, life
You show me the meaning of life
Meaning of life, life, life, life
You show me the meaning of life

[Verse 2]
Every time I spend a lonely night, yeah
Thinkin' I won't make it til the morning light
All I do is think of you and I
Suddenly the wrongs they start to feel so right

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been waiting so long for you to come my way (come my way, yeah)
And now I, I can't wait another day

[Chorus]
When you hold me, I finally see (When you hold me I see)
When you say love, I know what it means (I know what it means)
I was broke down so alone in the dark
Until you showed me the light
'Cause when you kiss me, I know who I am (I know who I am)
And when you let me feel it, I understand (I understand)
When I'm lost I just look in your eyes
You show me the meaning of life
Meaning of life, life, life, life
You show me the meaning of life
Meaning of life, life, life, life
Show me the meaning of life

[Bridge]
You show me love
You lift me up
You take me higher and higher
The truth is I'm in love
Can you feel us, we're flyin' higher
Oh, you show me love
You lift me up
You take me higher and higher
The truth is I'm in love
Can you feel us, we're flyin' higher

[Partial Chorus]
Meaning of life, life, life, life
You show me the meaning of life
Meaning of life, life, life, life
Show me the meaning of life
Show me the meaning of life, ooh
Show me the meaning of life

Kelly Brianne Clarkson (born April 24, 1982) is an American singer, songwriter, and occasional actress. In 2002, she came to prominence after winning the first season of American Idol, and has since been established as “The Original American Idol”. Her debut single, “A Moment Like This”, topped the US Billboard Hot 100 and broke the record for the biggest jump to number one in the chart’s history.

Her first album, Thankful included the top ten single “Miss Independent”, which earned her first Grammy nomination. Her second album Breakaway produced the hit single “Since U Been Gone” which reached number two on the Hot 100 and was certified platinum by the RIAA.

Clarkson went in a different direction with her self-creatively-controlled third album, My December. It debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 and produced the top-ten single “Never Again.” Her fourth album, All I Ever Wanted debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. Lead single “My Life Would Suck Without You” re-broke the record for biggest jump to number one on the Hot 100, jumping 97-1 in its second week on the chart. The record still stands today.
