And I feel all the faint morning light
Filled with hope 'cause you're here in my life
And we've gone from the edge of our souls
Made it back to a place we call home

You see me through
I was alone in the dark
And the fear was my truth

Yeah all the things that you are
Beautifully broken, alive in my heart
And know, that you are everything
Let your heart sing and tonight
We'll light up the stars
All that you are

I feel wrong, I'm so human and flawed
I'll break down even though I'm still strong
And time will make fools of us all
Build us up and then laughs when we fall

You pull me through
When I'm alone in the dark
And the fear is my truth

Yeah all the things that you are
Beautifully broken, alive in my heart
And know, that you are everything
Let your heart sing and tonight
You'll light up the stars
All that you are

You're the sound of redemption
The faith that I've lost
The answers I'm seeking no matter the cost
You opened the window
Now I can see and you taught me forgiveness
By giving your love back to me

Yeah all the things that you are
Beautifully broken, alive in my heart
And know, that you are everything
Let your heart sing and tonight

Yeah all the things that you are
Beautifully broken, alive in my heart
And know that you are everything
Let your heart sing and tonight
Let your heart sing and tonight
You'll light up the stars
All that you are

Oh I feel all the faint morning light
Still there's hope
'Cause you're here in my life

    My Interpretation:This is a great song by the dolls.

    IMO It's about having someone in your life that is there for you entirely. You're not perfect and they're not perfect, but you're perfect for each other. They help you be someone better than you are and renew your outlook on life.

    If you're of the Christian type, this could also be interpreted as a relationship with God. For me, my wife-to-be makes the stars shine, but it's open to interpretation.

    Either way, it's a very special song.

    General Comment:What!?!? How has no one commented on this yet?!?!?! This song was not only on Transformers 3's soundtrack, but it was also played at Trevor Hoffman's retirement ceromony over the weekend before the Padres swept the Marlins. I attended the game and the Padres did a wonderfull job honoring the greatest closer in baseball history. With you Trevor, we really did "light up the stars", especially in 1998. Here's to you Trevor, and "all that you are". And go Padres!!!
