To See Her Smile Again
It tears my heart to see my child
So lost, alone and sad
Shattered by her loss
And all the hopes and dreams they had
Knowing she pretends she’s strong
But deep inside she fears
Knowing when she’s all alone
She cries her silent tears
When I hear her laugh
I know it just a fake disguise
When I see her smile
I still see sadness in her eyes
She has no arms to hold her now
No words of love to hear
No comfort from the love she lost
The man she held so dear
He made her life worth living
Two halves that made a whole
The only man she’ll ever love
With all her heart and soul
There’s nothing that I wouldn't do
To take away her pain
To see the girl she used to be
To see her smile again
If I could carry all her pain
I’d take it as my own
Wrap her in my arms so tight
She’d never feel alone
I’d give the world to heal her heart
To take away her scars
Just to bring back all the light
And take away the dark
If I could give him back to her
I’d take his place tomorrow
To see the light shine in her eyes
Instead of pain and sorrow
I know he watches over her
In hope one day he’ll see
The hurt, the pain, the tears she cries
Are just a memory...
