lighting up ( the lord 's cup ) you could say that she 's my baby you could say that i 'm her love and the two of us together are filling the lord 's cup though happiness until this time has eluded us with her spark from here to eternity we 're lighting up the world 's dark they say that this world 's cruelty can crush the faith of the strongest soul so you and i together will bite the thorn off of every rose for the passion and the pain these each play a part in the way we come together and light up the world 's dark so dance for me , my beautiful girl you know that i love you so under the moon , in the early spring where the purple lilacs grow then if you call me 'lover ' well that 's just what i am singing to you in the morning light and taking you by the hand you could say that she 's my lady you could say that i 'm her man and the two of us together are making one last stand as the angels dance above our bed - sing out like a lark : `` the time is now fulfilled dear friends , come out of the dark !
