You put the sparkle in the good old mountain morningYou put the shine in the stars in the skyYou put the moonlight in the summer nights in DixieWhen you put the love back in my lifeI was lost and all aloneLike an eagle on the wingI was a ship without a homeA song no one could singThen one touch of your handChanged this lonely manOh, ladyYou put the love back in my lifeYou put the love back in my lifeYou put freedomIn the hands of the prisonerWho was chainedBy lonelinessAnd you put sunlightOn a screen once linedWith shadowsWhen you put the love back in my lifeI was lost and all aloneLike an eagle on the wingI was a ship without a homeI was lost and all aloneI was a ship without a homeA song no one could singThen one touch of your handChanged this lonely manOh ladyYou put the love back in my lifeOh, oh, oh, oh
