From the recording Be Bold
"Brightest Light" is a fun, lighthearted acoustic song with some ukulele flair. I wrote this song when I was in Hawaii for an internship. Naturally, I was really missing my sweetheart, so I wrote a song about us. It may sound cliché, but his smile really does brighten my day! Sometimes the sunshine can't even do that. And so, sitting on the beach on the North Shore of Oahu, I strummed my ukulele and sang about when we'd see each other again.
Lyrics
“Brightest Light”
Anton du Preez
Sha la la la la la la la x3
Mm mm mm mm mm
Just thought I'd stop and say hello
And show you how deep my love goes
I hope you turn and look my way
‘Cause your smile outshines the brightest light of day
I took a trip across the sea
To find somewhere for you and me
I wonder what it is you'll say
When your smile outshines the brightest light of day.
Oh tomorrow
When I finally find that peace of mind I seek
No more loneliness for me
I'm coming home so I can breathe
Finally breathe and feel the light
You bring
Sha la la la la la la la x3
Mm mm mm mm mm
Brought back some sunshine of my own
I'll call you up and take you home
Pick up my uke and sing and play
So I can see your smile outshine the light of day
‘Cause your smile outshines the brightest light of day
Brightest light of day
Mm mm mm mm mm
