I'm 52 I still listened to her sing this song.i it's a sweet mellow song.i had a crush on her when she first sang this song .an still today she still looks good..thank you Debbie Boone for everyone to listen an sing along with this song.. truly yours Raymond
as a 53 yr old, I remember this vibe of music as a kid growing up. to think I was entertained as a kid by people in the 70s who were raised by parents born in the early 1910-20's, and.....prior to that, 53 yrs the civil war ended...... 🤔
My new wife and I have chosen "You light up our life" as our song. She is 79 and I'm 80. We both had wonderful marriages, both over 50 years but now enjoy new lives with new lovers! Yes, we have new lives and this song truly tell how we have new lighted up lives between us!
I remember how taken my father now deceased was with this song. He said it was how he felt about my mother. As a child I didn't get it about the love of a life. Now I do and he and his love are gone. Beautiful people who deserved a beautiful song like this. It was about Debbie's love for god but for most it was simply about love which is god.
I'm a 50 year old guy not prone to sentimentalism but this is maybe the greatest song ever written. Or maybe I used to have a giant crush on Debbie Boone. Either way, i love it.
I know how you feel, I lost my son in 2015, he was 37 years old, but I told him when he was 36 that he would always be "daddy's little man" no matter how old he was. I know how much you miss your son, as I miss mine, God bless you. This song touches my heart
thank you delton, I am so sorry for your loss, yes they stay our babies, when someone asks about my children I always count him as one of the 3, God bless you as well, they are always with us tucked in our hearts till we see them again
One of the most beautiful songs ever! It's simplicity is its USP.The words are simple, The melody is simple and the way she has sung it- with honesty and simplicity. It's so beautiful! So gentle and so soothing! Love it!
Kenneth Elsey every word you spoke absolutely true!!!! unfortunately time hasn't been kind to this song! people today mock this song. Infact I hear that Debby boone herself looks down upon this song! how sad and disappointing if true!!
I used to sing this to my dog, she was so sweet and wonderful. Such a gentle and caring creature. I remember the nights we would curl up by the fire and I'd turn this on my 8-track player and we'd cuddle and laugh for hours. It's a pity my brother ran her over with his truck. I may never love the same again :(
This was pretty much her only hit. She has been categorized as a one hit wonder. The top song of all the 70's, all the hundreds of thousands of songs, to a 17 year old who would never really hit again. That is music for ya.
Fair enough, but a lot of one hit wonders have no career on any billboard chart after their big hit. I mean # 1 on the Country chart may only be vs other country artists but that's still a pretty big hit because most country artists who are successful don't ever sell enough to crack the mainstream top 40 either, but we still see them as having hits.
I don't know about that there are still plenty of one hit wonders all the way through today. She just did not have anything else. Even this was a cover.
This was the number one song in the nation the day I was born: Wednesday, October 19, 1977! It spent 10 weeks at that top spot losing out to the Bee Gees: "How Deep is Your Love?" on December 18, 1977.
+Ted Gibson This was our wedding song. The love of my life died Tuesday and today is his birthday. I will love him forever. I miss him soooooooooo much. He did light up my life. I am sorry for your loss too Ted. God bless you and your family. Reply ·
+Ted Gibson Sorry Ted. Can't imagine your sadness. I hope you look to God and Jesus for comfort and strength. . . peace John 14:7, grief 1 Thessalonians 4:13,14, Revelation 21:4. Gods blessings to you.
amazing how life and years go by . moving to the USA , high school , college , falling in love , marriage , jobs , raising kids , buying houses , spouse leaving you, divorce , changing gender , however friends And music always remains.
I dedicated this song to my first born daughter because in the middle of all the turmoil she kept me from falling apart and gave me hope, I thank God eveyday that she came into my life and made who I am today.....
This song brings back soo many good memories.. I went to High school at an all girls school.. I lived at the school except for christmas and easter break.. Me and the other girls at the school use to sit around and one would play piano and the rest of us would sing... This was and will always be the S.M.A. residents song...
This is such a beautiful song! Debby Boone is so beautiful and she sang this song beautiful. Its no wonder this song was No 1 for 10 weeks when it came out. Great job Debby
🎶And you light up my life, You give me hope to carry on. You light up my days, And fill my nights with song.🎶 Love this song, so beautiful. They don't make songs like this anymore, wish they did though.
I remember when this song came out, she was interviewed and they asked if she had a 'guy' she was thinking about when she did this song, and her reply was, 'I was singing this song to the love I feel from God.' Which ever way you listen to it, it is a beautiful ballad!
The first time I heard this song I loved it. To me that is what makes a real hit is when you do not have to get used to a song to love it. You just love it immediately. Debby was meant to sing that song. Great voice!
this song is a jewel...a rare blend of instrumentation... lyrics and vocals...it is one of the best voices and compositions in the Americana song book.. BRAVO MAESTRA!!!! Mariano Vico Guitarist and English teacher from Havana Cuba.
I had to sing this song as a child in choir. Back then I thought it to be so gooey. However everyone loved me singing it. When asked what I was thinking about I said, "My bicycle". Now that I'm older and think back, that was my "Citizen Kane" moment!
Beautiful song, eleven years old when I saw ' You Light Up My Life ' in the cinema, Debbie Boon was not the original singer but a beautiful rendition, five stars, excellent version, love this song.
Didi Conn was the woman in the movie, but Debby Boone had the big hit with the song. In the movie, Didi Conn was lip syncing to a singer named Kvitka "Kasey" Cisyk.
Terence John Johnson Debbie Boone did the sound track for the movie, which started Didi Conn. As far as I know she was the original singer for this song.
@Valery M I stand corrected. You are right. It took an ugly turn. When the movie came out, Debbie Boone's version was all over the radio stations. It was stated that Debbie Boone's did the voice over for Didi Conn.
a memory: sitting in the bed of a family friend chevy truck at the park with friends and this song playing on the radio and all of us singing really loud 1977
i was living in Wetumpka, Montgomery, Alabama in 1977, when i was so deep in love, and i liked this song so much, as i love my girlfriend Marce Fuller, Marce i am still alive, hope some day a have news abouy you. i still think about you.

My wedding song in 1973. My wife died in 2015. She always lit up my life. Dearly missed.
no frills, just pure talent, intelligent lyrics and inspired melodies.
I like your response....a no frills song just pure talent. This is a lot of what today's music is missing....Inspiration
Plus she’s pretty

She hits every single note just perfectly! Easily a 10 out of 10!
as a 53 yr old, I remember this vibe of music as a kid growing up. to think I was entertained as a kid by people in the 70s who were raised by parents born in the early 1910-20's, and.....prior to that, 53 yrs the civil war ended...... 🤔

I was so very young..... But I always knew it was about Him. Thanks Jesus, a love that endures.
You know, kids, that's why I say the 70's & 80's are the Golden Age of music.
One of the most beautiful singers ever!
I remember how taken my father now deceased was with this song. He said it was how he felt about my mother. As a child I didn't get it about the love of a life. Now I do and he and his love are gone. Beautiful people who deserved a beautiful song like this. It was about Debbie's love for god but for most it was simply about love which is god.
She's so beautiful and nobody can sing it like she can, we love you Debbie Boone!
kkkk
My dad was so depressed he loved this song.....he is gone now.....good
I remember when this song was EVERYWHERE! Seems like an eternity ago.
+tmcmurra63 1977 10th. grade for me.
tmcmurra63 yes! It really does
4 to 9 years (1976 - 1981) old for me. And, yes I remember so clearly...as all romantic love song masterpieces do.
tmcmurra63 yes in 1977!!!
I'm a 50 year old guy not prone to sentimentalism but this is maybe the greatest song ever written. Or maybe I used to have a giant crush on Debbie Boone. Either way, i love it.
People who abuse children are cowards and forget that they were once children themselves. Thank God you are still here today.
Lets keep the whole Boone family in our thoughts and prayers as they deal with the lost of Sherily, Pat wife and the girls mother.
i really appreciate the old song it makes me feel so relaxing i loved it so much...Thanks for the old song...
i used to sing this to my oldest son, when he was a baby, i lost him in 1998 age 22 so i love listening to this thank you
Some day you will be together
thank you , it will be a happy reunion
I know how you feel, I lost my son in 2015, he was 37 years old, but I told him when he was 36 that he would always be "daddy's little man" no matter how old he was. I know how much you miss your son, as I miss mine, God bless you. This song touches my heart
thank you delton, I am so sorry for your loss, yes they stay our babies, when someone asks about my children I always count him as one of the 3, God bless you as well, they are always with us tucked in our hearts till we see them again
My deepest consolation brother, he is in a better place waiting for you.
I Also Love this song, This was our wedding song on 2-16-1978 and she still lights up my life.
One of the most beautiful songs ever! It's simplicity is its USP.The words are simple, The melody is simple and the way she has sung it- with honesty and simplicity. It's so beautiful! So gentle and so soothing! Love it!
This song was number one on Billboard's Hot 100 for nine weeks in 1977. Awesome song and awesome performance by Debby Boone.
+Kenneth Elsey I remember very well..i was in the 10th. grade.
Great
Kenneth Elsey every word you spoke absolutely true!!!! unfortunately time hasn't been kind to this song! people today mock this song. Infact I hear that Debby boone herself looks down upon this song! how sad and disappointing if true!!
This was our wedding song Valentine's Day, 1981. We had it played when we celebrated our 25th, and God willing, we will play it on our 50th!
May God bless your marriage for a hundred years :)
Andria Mocek Such a beautiful story thanks so much for sharing with us, very very touching story. God's blessings now and forever on your marriage.
Andria Mocek with a little tlc every now and then you will
awesome.. god bless :-)
Andria Mocek Great !
This song was my baby cousin's favorite she was about maybe 2 yrs old at the time. Today she is 36.
I love my cousin and this song too!!
My maid of honor sang this as a gift to me and my husband in1991...
This song was my mother's favorite when she heard she'd sing along or, she'd sing it anyway R.I.P. Mum
Esther Haber R.I.P
I used to sing this to my dog, she was so sweet and wonderful. Such a gentle and caring creature. I remember the nights we would curl up by the fire and I'd turn this on my 8-track player and we'd cuddle and laugh for hours. It's a pity my brother ran her over with his truck.

Some things are better off not typed nor spoken.
This was pretty much her only hit. She has been categorized as a one hit wonder. The top song of all the 70's, all the hundreds of thousands of songs, to a 17 year old who would never really hit again. That is music for ya.
She had a Country chart #1 and Grammy nominated Christian albums
pricepittsburgh That doesn't count. I'm talking mainstream. Not specialized chart.
Fair enough, but a lot of one hit wonders have no career on any billboard chart after their big hit. I mean # 1 on the Country chart may only be vs other country artists but that's still a pretty big hit because most country artists who are successful don't ever sell enough to crack the mainstream top 40 either, but we still see them as having hits.
I see your point.
I don't know about that there are still plenty of one hit wonders all the way through today. She just did not have anything else. Even this was a cover.
I was a little embarrassed to say i liked this in 77' but i say it loud and proud now I LOVE THIS SONG!
i use to sing this song to my grandmother when i was a kid. she loved it.
How sweet!
My wife and I really loved this one, still do 38 yrs later!
count sessions
you light up my soul
Arthur Wolf as I do!!!
Happy Birthday, Debby Boone, always liked this song, beautiful song, sung by a beautiful lady
She's a butterface, but I'd still make her walk funny the next day.
phillip bonner yes!!!

I don't care about all the negative comments. This song is beautiful and she is beautiful.
I love this song it's so romantic the 50, 60,70 are my favored years of music so many love songs.
Debby Boone was singing to God
I dedicated this song to my first born daughter because in the middle of all the turmoil she kept me from falling apart and gave me hope, I thank God eveyday that she came into my life and made who I am today.....
I sang this song for mother's day when I was 12 years old at a show my school did for all the mothers that year
This song brings back soo many good memories.. I went to High school at an all girls school.. I lived at the school except for christmas and easter break.. Me and the other girls at the school use to sit around and one would play piano and the rest of us would sing... This was and will always be the S.M.A. residents song...
I remember the summer this came out...Good God, by the end of that summer I never wanted to hear or see Debbie Boone again in this lifetime...
I've been looking for this song for YEARS. at last I found it.
I bought this album when I was 14. I bet I played this song over 1000 times. Haha
Awesome rendition. It's Debby's song, no one else's. She nails it.
From a time when singers sang. Not a single ooooo or aaaaa. Just pure lyrics with a great message. Very nice! Thanks for sharing!
it was number #1 for 10 weeks in the fall of 1977..what a way to wrap up a great year in pop music..1977!!
She sang it with full passion and emotion. Perfect !
If I am not mistaken.....this song still holds the record for being number one for the longest time.....
This is such a beautiful song! Debby Boone is so beautiful and she sang this song beautiful. Its no wonder this song was No 1 for 10 weeks when it came out. Great job Debby
Debbie C so true!!!
🎶And you light up my life,
You give me hope to carry on.

Joseph Clarke wow!!!!
Great song and a beautiful voice
Such a sweet voice. I still love this song
i fell in love with her when i first saw this oh my youth
...today, this song of my childhood, it took on a whole new meaning!! WOW!!
Best single vocalist popular song and singer of the years 1960-2000...Debbie Boone's rendition of "You light of my life."
A feel good song and was number one for a long time in America and it was a shame it never made the UK charts.
I just remembered this song and I played it after many years. It must be nice to still believe in dreams
Debby Boone is very beautiful then n now
yesteryears...beautiful song..happy memories..life was good..life in paradise....full of love..full of happiness....
Debbie Boone lights up countless memories from 1977 with her signature song "You Light Up My Life." No performer and song were better matched.

I love this song.My 80's song,thanks for sharing!!!
It's a 70's song (1977). Not an 80's song.
Heavenly Voice of
All Time
LOVE YOU DEBBIE
i was living in Wetumpka, Montgomery, Alabama in 1977, when i was so deep in love, and i liked this song so much, as i love my girlfriend Marce Fuller, Marce i am still alive, hope some day a have news abouy you. i still think about you.
very nice song when iwas young. everytime I sing
Best Song Of The LAST CENTURY - Never get tired of hearing it !!
Worst out of tune 1 hit wonder singer. Good taste.
Every time you turned the radio on this song was on....
8th grade in Pennsylvania, one of "during school hours" dances... me and Bobbi Joe Miller danced to this song. Brings back times with her.
Thanks for the stereo music. This sounds much better, especially using the headphones
This song was #1 for 10 weeks. It is about faith.
This lovely song was a hot commodity the day I was born back in 1977
One of my favorite childhood songs.
It's nice to be hearing this classics ...thank you for posting!
I love it! Debbie! A classic 70s ballad. "Torn Between Two Lovers" and "Nadia's Theme" also dominated the airwaves with so much artistic power.
she never that song originally, it was Kasey Cysik and she was supposed to get the reward!
I much prefer Debbie Boons rendition. When she was asked who she was singing to, her answer was "GOD"
Karen Davis I always believed that myself.
i always thought that too
@Lord Ronin, The Compassionate no one is FORCING anything, YOU came here to spout YOUR garbage. Have a nice day
And, she sounded glorious!
The right song. for the right time, by the right singer. One, two, three, Home run. Beautiful Debbie.
como as coisas bela sao rapidas e deixa muita saudades...que voz maravilhoza...
Very nice song n so romantic,,i like it so much
one of the most beautiful song ever! & from a beautiful girl! Ahhhh!
She is gorgeous! And she has a beautiful voice.
What song that more beautiful! Finally, i found it.
This was the #1 hit when love was new in my generation.....good stuff. GREAT message in the lyrics, too.
