  • You Light Up My Life • Theme Song • Kasey Cisyk
    Contrary to popular belief, Debby Boone was not the original singer of "You Light Up My Life," nor was the song ever meant to be about 'God.' It was in fact written exclusively for the 1977 movie of the same name. It was originally performed by vocalist Kvitka "Kasey" Cisyk, and lip-synched by actress Didi Conn who was the star of the film. Ironically, despite its comforting melody, the real life story of the man who wrote the music (songwriter Joseph Brooks) is very disturbing.
    Soundtrack from the 1977 Joseph Brooks film, "You Light Up My Life," with Didi Conn, Joe Silver, Michael Zaslow, Stephen Nathan, Lisa Reeves, Simmy Bow, Jerry Keller & Melanie Mayron. --- HD Film Tributes is a channel with over three hundred movie homages currently posted.

    This is more emotional, but, never soggy, yet warmer, stronger and more intimately appealing to my soul than any other “commercially successful” versions, though they all did what they could do best at the time.
    To me, this is the true and only original. I’ve loved it since the first time I heard her voice in the movie. Thanks for lighting up my mind!

    I'm so glad I found it. The very first time I heard this song I was close to 10 yrs old. From that first time I heard it in the movie. It was tattoo in my heart. Since then I am still waiting for that special someone who will sing his song to me... I'm still waiting & hopping for us to find each other ♥️

    Man, seeing all the little 70s things sure takes me back-vests and overalls, wide collars & flared pants, hats and tweed jackets, macrame plant hangers, soda from a tall bottle, wide flat cars (except for her old convertible of course), mop tops on the guys and bangs on the gals, thin eyebrows and blue eye shadow, tinted glasses and mustaches… Ah yes, now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to get my fondue set washed and put away since we’re watching Eight is Enough, Charlie’s Angels, and Starsky & Hutch tonight!!

    During the summers of 1985-87, I performed the song, a capella, during Talent Night at the German Summer School at Taos Ski Valley, NM. I serenaded a lady during the song and the entire audience of 150 sang along with me and enjoyed the show. You Light Up My Life has become my love anthem and I hope to serenade my future wife with that song. Brings me to tears whenever I hear the song.😢

    I've always heard it by Debby Boone, since one day in 1977. Never by her, as she was the one who originally recorded it. The interpretation that she does in this song leaves me speechless. I never thought I could see someone sing it better than Debby Boone. I don't want to take a single carat from Debby, but from now on (May 14, 2023) I will keep her in mind... to see in her the best way to give my soul and even my life.

    So many nights,
    I'd sit by my window
    Waiting for someone
    To sing me his song
    So many dreams
    I kept deep inside me
    Alone in the dark
    But now you've come along
    And you light up my life,
    You give me hope, to carry on
    You light up my days
    And fill my nights with song
    Rollin' at sea
    Adrift on the waters
    Could it be finally
    I'm turning for home
    Finally a chance
    To say: "Hey, I love you"
    Never again to be all alone
    And you light up my life
    You give me hope, to carry on
    You light up my days
    And fill my nights with song
    You,
    You light up my life
    You give me hope, to carry on
    You light up my days
    And fill my nights with song
    It can't be wrong
    When it feels so right
    'Cause you, you light up my... life

    It was written for the movie, but Boone always saw the song as a religious song about God rather than a love song.
