Soft Heart


It was a blue day

But you kept me warm

Though tears fell like raindrops,


There aren't many days anymore

That the sun shines

But you keep me safe,


For you

I get out of bed

I get dressed, and smile

Even though the days are blue,

And you don't understand

That I might be a little lost

Without you


Because you let me cry

And hold you close

But most of all

You need me,


So I get up to a new day

Even if it's blue

And I keep going

Because you need me

And I need you
