Standing In The Light

(album: Thelma Houston - 1983)

I was afraid, perplexed and so confused
I only wondered what was next
The way that people sometimes get
In the dark, couldn't see the forest for the trees
Looking for some kind of remedy
I needed to know that someone cared

You were always holding up your heart of gold
And I was too bewildered and upset to know

Now I'm standing in the light again
(Standing in the light, standing in the light)
Accepting nature to me now
I'm so glad I found you
And I'm standing in the light again
It's gonna be a happy ending

No more tears melting in my eyes
I've got no more time to waste
Now that you have given me a taste
Of what is real, what it is that makes a man
For you to see me as I am
And to fall in love, what a simple plan

You're the perfect angel come to rescue me
You've given me the love I was too blind to see

Now I'm standing in the light again
(Standing in the light, standing in the light)
Accepting nature to me now
I'm so glad I found you
And I'm standing in the light again
(Standing in the light, standing in the light)
Looking back on where he was
Knowing I'm much better, 'cause
I'm standing in the light again
And I wanna thank you, thank you, baby

Life's got the meaning I was trying to find
I was only waiting for a little love to shine

Now I'm standing in the light again
(Standing in the light, standing in the light)
Accepting nature to me now
I'm so glad I found you
And I'm standing in the light again
(Standing in the light, standing in the light)
Love has got a hold on me
Love I was too blind to see

(I'm so glad I'm standing in the light)
Standing in the light again (again)
Make me feel so good inside
(Now I'm standing in the light)
Standing in the light again (again)
(Standing in the light again)
Standing in the light, standing in the light again
I thank you, thank you, thank you, baby
(Now I'm standing in the light)
Standing in the light again (again)
I feel so good, I feel so good, I feel so good inside, hey
(Standing in the light again)
Thank you, thank you, baby, yeah
(Now I'm standing in the light...)
