My heart smiles whenever she’s glad,
It cries whenever she’s sad.
I’d go round the world to dry her tears,
Slay all the monsters to allay her fears.
Whenever life gives creases,
What I’d give to be beside her, to pick up the pieces…
But alas! It can never be,
The one beside her can never be me;
She’s got someone else to share starry skies,
And when life gives lemons, to dry her eyes,
Leaving my heart torn to shreds.
Now my future’s a painful dread…
My heart cries but I do not sadden;
My mind can’t comprehend yet I don’t madden;
For I know the One who lights my way,
Who gives life and takes it away.
He gives peace to those in pain,
And I guess that’s all I need to gain…
