The Fonder of You

Looking at you, a vista of life Seeing that smile relieves my strife Reading your words, caring total Like Autumn leaves, for you I fall Then there's the smile of Golden gown You can't swim, but for you I'd drown For you give me hope, far out yonder Look inside my heart, for you I'm fonder .
