Love of My Life
Jim Brickman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I look at you
I see you smiling back at me
It's like all my dreams come true
I am afraid
If I lost you girl
I'd fall through the cracks
Sometimes it's so hard to believe
When the nights can be so long
And faith gave me the strength
And kept me holding on
You are the love of my life
And I'm so glad you found me
You are the love of my life
Baby put your arms around me
I guess this is how it feels
When you finally find something real
My angel in the night
You are my love
The love of my life
Now here you are
With midnight closing in
You take my hand as our shadows dance
With moonlight on your skin
I look in your eyes
I'm lost inside your kiss
I think if I'd never met you
About all the things i'd missed
Sometimes it's so hard to believe
When a love can be so strong
And faith gave me the strength
And kept me holding on
You are the love of my life
And I'm so glad you found me
You are the love of my life
Baby put your arms around me
I guess this is how it feels
When you finally find something real
My angel in the night
You are my love
The love of my life
[Instrumental]
You are the love of my life
And I'm so glad you found me
You are the love of my life
Baby put your arms around me
I guess this is how it feels
When you finally find something real
My angel in the night
You are my love
My angel in the night
You are my love
The love of my life

I am amazed
I am filled with wonder and admiration
When I look at you
When I gaze upon your beauty
I see you smiling back at me
I am comforted knowing you are happy
It's like all my dreams come true
My aspirations are fulfilled
I am afraid
I am filled with fear
If I lost you girl
If I were separated from you
I'd fall through the cracks
I would feel lost and alone
And lose my track in this crazy lonely world
I would be adrift in a sad and desolate existence
Sometimes it's so hard to believe
At times it seems unreal
When the nights can be so long
When time stretches out with no end in sight
And faith gave me the strength
My trust and belief guides me
And kept me holding on
And gave me the perseverance to endure
You are the love of my life
You are the most important person to me
And I'm so glad you found me
I feel fortunate that you came into my life
Baby put your arms around me
Hold me close and make me feel secure
I guess this is how it feels
This must be what true love is like
When you finally find something real
When you discover something genuine and lasting
My angel in the night
My saving grace, my comforter
You are my love
You are the one I cherish
Now here you are
Now you are by my side
With midnight closing in
As the darkness approaches
You take my hand as our shadows dance
We move together and our silhouettes mingle
With moonlight on your skin
Illuminated by the moon's radiance
I look in your eyes
I gaze into your soul
I'm lost inside your kiss
I am engulfed and consumed by your embrace
I think if I'd never met you
I wonder about a life without you
About all the things I'd missed
All the experiences and joys that would have eluded me
[Instrumental]
No words, just music
My angel in the night
My salvation when it's dark
You are my love
You are everything to me
The love of my life
The one I love more than anyone or anything

This is the 1st song I dedicated to my g/f in our long distance relationship of Oregon and Massachusetts. This song is very special to us and always will be. Good news is that she is moving to Massachusetts in a few weeks to spend forever with me. I Love Her So Much and can't wait to share my life with her πππ
