Let Me

When the world has shown you cruelty,

When you think you can't keep up the pace,

When everything seems to get you down,

Let me be the smile on your face.

When nothing appears to go your way,

When you have no reason to rejoice,

When your mood is mostly dark and grey,

Let me be the laughter in your voice.

When you think you've reached the very end,

When you seem to fail at all you try,

When what you need most is a friend,

Let me be the sparkle in your eye.

Let me help you make the world seem right,

Let me be what you've been from the start,

Let me guide you through the darkest night,

Let me be the Love that fills your heart.
