Songwriters: Alan Menken/Gienn Evan Slater

[Mandy Moore]
All those days watching from the windows
All those years outside looking .in ·
All that time never even knowing .
Just how blind I've been
Now I'm here blinking in the starlight
Now. I'm here suddenly I see
Standing here it's all so clear
I'm where, I'm meant to be

[Mandy Moore]
And at last I see the light
And it's like the fog has lifted
And at last I see the light
And it's like the sky is new
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once everything looks different 
Now that I see you

All those years living in a blur
 All that time never truly seeing
 Things, the way they were
. Now she's here shining in the starlight
Now she's here suddenly I know
If she's here it's crystal clear
I'm where I'm meant to go
[Both]
And at last I see the light

And at last I see the light

And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once everything is different
