You put the sparkle in the good old mountain morning
You put the shine in the stars in the sky
You put the moonlight in the summer nights in Dixie
When you put the love back in my life
I was lost and all alone
Like an eagle on the wing
I was a ship without a home
A song no one could sing
Then one touch of your hand
Changed this lonely man
Oh, lady
You put the love back in my life
You put the love back in my life
You put freedom
In the hands of the prisoner
Who was chained
By loneliness
And you put sunlight
On a screen once lined
With shadows
When you put the love back in my life
I was lost and all alone
Like an eagle on the wing

I was a ship without a home
I was lost and all alone
I was a ship without a home
A song no one could sing
Then one touch of your hand
Changed this lonely man
Oh lady
You put the love back in my life
Oh, oh, oh, oh
