Smile
I could have stood out there in the darkness
Close my eyes and wait for the light of day
There were those things that you knew about me
I wasn't comfortable in that glaring light
I had walked both broad and narrow roads
And it felt like I was all alone
I wanted to stay out there in the dark
I wanted the night, the falling dew to cover me
Then maybe I wouldn't feel so incomplete
I didn't mean to spurn that open door
From where your solitary light streamed
I was in love but I felt so alone
You smiled, opened my eyes, I hadn't seen you
You were sure, but had your fears, I was afraid
You took my words, those unworthy trinkets
Made them into everything great and quaint
Don't close that door, I will come in when sure
Just smile and I am not alone
