A Smile Worth While
When I took a look around
I saw no one
looked my way
I looked up above and down below
and all around the sun
it wasn't till I shut my eyes and thought the world was done
that I found you
my love
my world
my rock
my star
the only one worth while
you came around the corner like my very own
you knew right away I was all alone
when I looked into your eyes I saw I was never really withered
my heartbreak was not true
now that I'd found you
the color returned into my skin
and I felt human yet once again
you looked at me and saw the red river of my wrists
you made me promise that you'd see this not even once again
then you turned and walked back down the street
at that point my fear took over
I thought that you were like all others
with that I curled
back in a ball
and wished I'd seen you none at all
my love
my world
my rock
my star
the only one worth while
was gone forever more
or so I had thought for right that very afternoon
you were right back at my door
you brought with you a smile
a piece of heaven for a while
I looked at you yet once again
and you melted through my heart
that smile was the key
to my very own being
you opened the door
and I knew no more
the hopelessness I knew before
my love
my world
my rock
my star
the only one worth while
I love you to the moon and back
and eternally I am grateful
