[Verse 1]
AmAll along the street
They're holding signs that Gsay
That I am lost
And that FI do not Eknow the wAmay
I asked the rock
Sitting in a shade of Ggrey
I asked the rock
He didn't Fhave a Ething to Amsay
[Chorus]
AmBut you are Gthe only lighCt I see
You are the Donly light I Amneed
When everyGbody else is Csleeping
You come aDlong and help me Ambreathe
[Verse 2]
AmWhen I was a stone
No one knew that I was thereG  
I'd sing my song and
No one Fever rEeally carAmed
I went to the mountain
Face all covered in teaGrs
I wept but
MountaiFn didn'Et seem to Amhear
[Chorus]
AmSo you are tGhe only light CI see
You are the Donly light I Amneed
When everyGbody else is Csleeping
You come aDlong and help me Ambreathe
You are the only light I see (x2)
[Verse 3]
AmI love you
'Till the mountain starts to cryG  
I love you
If I don't knoFw the rEeason whyAm  
I love you
Until I do not know my nameG  
I ask you
Wouldn't you Fhave dEone the sAmame
[Chorus]
OAmh you are thGe only light CI see
You are the Donly light I Amneed
When everyGbody else is Csleeping
You come aDlong and help me Ambreathe
You are the only light I see
You are the only light I need
When everybody else is sleeping
You bring the magic over me
You are the only light I see (x4)

[Verse 1]

All along the street

They're holding signs that say

That I am lost

F E Am

And that I do not know the way

I asked the rock

Sitting in a shade of grey

I asked the rock

F E Am

He didn't have a thing to say

[Chorus]

Am G C

But you are the only light I see

D Am

You are the only light I need

G C

When everybody else is sleeping

D Am

You come along and help me breathe

[Verse 2]

When I was a stone

No one knew that I was there

I'd sing my song and

F E Am

No one ever really cared

I went to the mountain

Face all covered in tears

I wept but

F E Am

Mountain didn't seem to hear

[Chorus]

Am G C

So you are the only light I see

D Am

You are the only light I need

G C

When everybody else is sleeping

D Am

You come along and help me breathe

You are the only light I see (x2)

[Verse 3]

I love you

'Till the mountain starts to cry

I love you

F E Am

If I don't know the reason why

I love you

Until I do not know my name

I ask you

F E Am

Wouldn't you have done the same

[Chorus]

Am G C

Oh you are the only light I see

D Am

You are the only light I need

G C

When everybody else is sleeping

D Am

You come along and help me breathe

You are the only light I see

You are the only light I need

When everybody else is sleeping

You bring the magic over me

You are the only light I see (x4)
