You light up my life like sunshine in the morning
You make me believe that anything is possible
Mmm, I didn't have a dream to my name
Darkness was mine, oh it was a shame
But you came to light up my life
You brought me faith, and hope, and love, and light

With your tender smile
You brought me to the promise
Of life outside a world of nine-to-five and Sunday
Oh, I didn't know how rich I could be
Oh, until you gave, you gave your love to me, baby
You light up my life
You give me faith, and hope, and love, and light

You brought your sweet understanding
Like sunrays in my hazy sky
If you hadn't opened up my eyes
Love would have passed me right on by, right on by

Oh baby, you light up my life like sunshine in the morning
You make me believe that anything, anything is possible
Mmm, I never knew how good I could feel
Loving you's left me with nothing to conceal baby

You really light up my life
You give me faith, and hope, and love, and light
You give me faith
You give me hope
You give me love... and light

"Her name is Barbra Streisand. She is 20 years old, she has a three-octave promiscuity of range, she packs more personal dynamic power than anybody I can recall since Libby Holman or Helen Morgan. She can sing as loud as Ethel Merman and as persuasively as Lena or Ella, or as brassy as a Sophie Tucker ... and only Barbra Streisand can turn 'Cry Me a River' into something comparable to Enrico Caruso having his first bash at Pagliacci. When Streisand cries you a river, you got a river, Sam ... and she will be around 50 years from now if good songs are still written to be sung by good singers." — Syndicated columnist Robert Ruark, on her 1963 performances at the Blue Angel.
