Darlin’ you’re the highlight of my life
You’re the one that makes it all worth while
You’re the one that taught me how to smile
Darlin’ you’re the highlight of my life
You’re a part of every dream I dream
You’re my love, my life, my everything
I’ll never love another how could I
When darlin’ you are the highlight of my life

Darlin’ you’re the highlight of my life
You’re the one that makes it all worth while
You’re the one that taught me how to smile
Darlin’ you’re the highlight of my life

You’re the one I always think about
And you’re the one I couldn’t live without
And you’ve always been my guiding light
Darlin’ you’re the highlight of my life

Darlin’ you’re the highlight of my life
You’re the one that makes it all worth while
You’re the one that taught me how to smile
Darlin’ you’re the highlight of my life

Darlin’ you’re the highlight of my life
