You stepped into my life,

You told me you were there

And when I felt your love

I was bound to you for ever.

Always a kind word, and smile

To help me through the day

And in the lonely darkness

You would be there, for always.

And when I spoke, I never said

What I wanted to say

Though I wanted to tell you

I could only dream it.

And when I left, I cried.

I cried into your arms

And as our two souls parted

I said, "Keep smiling for me!"
