Perrelli is married to Stockholm-based Italian restaurateur Nicola Ingrosso, brother of Emilio Ingrosso who was married to another Swedish singer Pernilla Wahlgren in the 1990s. Following a feud with the rest of the family, Charlotte and Nicola decided to change both of their last names to Perrelli. They reside in Stockholm with their two sons. In June 2008 the couple officially announced that they were taking a break in their relationship. It had been speculated for some time in the Swedish media that their relationship was on the rocks. It is believed that Charlotte's heavy workload was a contributing factor to the couple's split. This was later denied by both Nicola and Charlotte, the couple stated they was just taking a break from each other but were still very much in love.
Light of my life
Charlotte Nilsson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But i know now
You're the light of my life
You're the one i still got on my mind
Allright
Gimmi your hand
Trust me again
I give you all i have
That you're the light of my life
Allright
Sometimes it feels like there nobody out there
'n sometimes it feels like everything is wrong
You don't know what to do 'n where to go now
'n you wonder, what kept me here so long?
Then i think of you
'n what you made me into
I'm gonna give you all i've got
Gonna give it one more shot
I don't wanna fight this feeling anymore now
I don't wanna loose my faith in you my love
But when i search my soul i find that you're still with me
You make me tremble down inside, baby you're sent from above
I think of you
'n what you make med do
I'm gonna give you all i've got
Gonna give it one more shot
I feel so small
Without your love
I'm lost inside
Now can't you see
I've got you on my mind
You're the light of my life
You're the light of my life
Tell me tell me
What you wanna do
I'm here I'm waiting
I'm in love with you
I'm giving you all that i have to give
Show me that you can forgive...
( I'm giving you love - baby i'm here)
The lyrics in Charlotte Nilsson's song "Light of my Life" are about realizing how important someone is to you after taking them for granted, and making the decision to fight for the relationship. The first verse speaks of hindsight, of recognizing the value of the person and the extent to which they occupy the thoughts and the heart, and acknowledging the mistake of not seeing it before. The chorus emphasizes how the person is the light of the singer's life, and how she is willing to do everything in her power to make it work. The second verse deals with moments of doubt and loss of faith that comes with any relationship, where the singer doubts if their partner is still with them or if everything is falling apart. But in those moments of uncertainty, she recalls the impact that the person has had in her life and resolves to give it another try. The bridge of the song is the singer begging the partner to forgive her and show a sign that the relationship is worth fighting for.
Overall, "Light of my Life" is a moving tribute to the healing properties of love, and the decision to never take it for granted. The lyrics speak about the regret one feels when they finally realize how much someone means to them and they have been blind to it all along. The song captures the deep longing to communicate and reconcile with that person, though it may not be an easy process. In essence, the song is not only about the importance of love in one's life but also of taking responsibility for one's failings in a relationship.
