The Reason

You are the reason
I wake up at dawn
With a smile on my face
Like all my sorrow's gone.

You are the reason
I prepare for the coming day
My cheeks full with anticipation
No matter what may come my way

You are the reason
I get back up each time I fall
'Cause the sun, peeking from within your smile
Gives me a million reasons to stand tall

So I wake up, every single morning
Singing thanks from out of unspoken words
Calming the lingering desire to see your face
And that sunny smile, like none in the world.

'Cause you give me strength
By your mere existence
By merely being you, perfectly you
Blessed with beauty, in perfect consistence.

You are the reason
I pray each night the sun to make haste
And bring dawn to my door again
So once more, I may see your face...
