When the world turned its back on me,
When I was lost in my own world,
When loneliness dogged my footsteps,
I heard a voice calling out my name;yours.

When I'd stopped caring
Stopped laughing and talking,
Was about to stop breathing,
You gave me reason to live.

When I was fumbling
In the dark corners of my mind,
You brought me light,
Love and laughter.

You taught me
To pick up the pieces of my torn life
To jigsaw them together
And go on living.

You taught me
Who'd forgotten but the cynical curving of lips
To laugh,laugh at you,at me,
And laugh at the world.

When you smile,
It was spring again
And when you cried
Dreary winter came.

You and your smile
Where all that mattered...
Your smile,my wings
Can I fly??
