You Made Me Live Again

It's Valentine's day and i'm in the mood for love songs. There are millions of beautiful songs out there but when asked to name a favorite, this OPM classic by Janet Basco always jumps out of me. I was 9 years old when my dad's female client filing for annulment of her marriage patiently taught it to me. I don't remember her name anymore but i can still visualize her singing it to me "with feelings" and making me sing after her. She said she dedicates it to her newfound love. I had no idea then what she meant but now, having been through relationships myself, i understand why. It sure is a wonderful feeling to have finally found someone who makes you smile again...



I was down and out
And feelin' so low
You took my hand and eased my mind;
I was astray
You showed me the way
And now I fin'lly found my home in you
I still recall
The times I've been through
Confused and didn't know what to do
I almost gave up
But you gave me hope
You've made me strong as the days went on
You made me live again

I was lost in the dark
With my lonely, broken heart
Then you came along
You took me home
And made me your own

You were always there
To lend a helping hand
When good friends were hard to find
When things went wrong
You made them right
You've made my days so bright
You made me live again

I was lost in the dark
With my lonely, broken heart
Then you came along
You took me home
And made me your own

Now look at me
Yes, a diff'rent me
Back on my feet again
I'm not afraid
To face the world again
'Cause you taught me how to be strong
You made me live again...

You made me live again...
