Edgar Winter - You Were My Light lyrics

You were my light Ever since the first day That I met you I knew that I could not forget you And though all your friends said You are no good for me All they had to give Was their sympathy They say I'm not the man That I used to be I guess that's the way That it had to be 'Cause you were my light My wrong and my right You were my sight My day and my night You are the one who took the time To understand Showed me what it was To be your man And lord knows if I hurt you I hope you understood That I was just trying to do What I thought was good You say I'm not the man That I used to be I guess that's the way That it had to be You were my light My wrong and my right You were my sight My day and my night Now that your memory Begins to fade I can't help a crying Bout the games we played And though I never, never See your face again No I feel the same Right to begin You say I'm not the man That I used to be I guess that's the way That it had to be You were my light My wrong and my right You were my sight My day and my night
