You showed me the way,
When I was someone in distress,
A heart in search of happiness,
You showed me the way.


My skies were so grey,
I never knew I'd feel a thrill,
I couldn't dream a dream until
You showed me the way.


The moment you found me,
The shadows around me
Just disappeared from view.
The world became rosy,
Each corner so cosy,
Darling, all because of you!


You showed me the way,
And if I've learned that love can be
A paradise for you and me,
Here's all I can say,
You showed me the way.


Oh, the moment you found me,
The shadows around me
Just disappeared from view.
The world became rosy,
Each corner so cosy,
Darling, all because of you!


You showed me the way,
And if I've learned that love can be
A paradise for you and me,
Here's all I can say,
Oh, you showed me the way.
