You Made My Day
Kathryn Ostenberg Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You lift me up,
Love is shining down
A simple little thing,
Can turn it all around

All that I wanted,
All that I need
Is right here next to me

Oh oh oh
One look made my world bright
One smile made of delight
I keep on falling
I'm only saying
You made, You made my day

Yeah, Yeah Yeah

Walk hand in hand, whisper in my ear
Say all the words that I long to hear
Small tiny act of love and tenderness
Turn to happiness

Oh oh oh
One look made my world bright
One smile made of delight
I keep on falling
I'm only saying
You made, You made my day

Oh oh oh

When I'm in the blues
All I need is you

You made my day

Oh oh oh

You made, you made my day
One look made my world bright
One smile made of delight
I keep on falling
I'm only saying
You made, You made my day
