Starting Life Over
Walk with me down the road so we can see tomorrow
Dry the tears I cry each day from my inner sorrow
Hold my hand down life's forever winding path
Lend me your shoulder when I've been struck by pain's wrath
Kiss me sweet and tender to ease my troubled mind
Fill my mind with new thoughts don't let me look behind
Say the loving words my ears long to hear spoken
Mend my wounds and save this heart that has been broken
Shine your loving light into my darkened soul
Share with me the part of you I need to make me whole
Open my eyes to a new life I've longed for 'til this day
Give me trust and honesty and promise me you'll stay
Now you've touched my heart, my soul and opened up my mind
Now I can start life over and leave my past behind
