When I Saw You Smile

I felt the emotions very early Very deep within my heart As my breath was taken away When each new day would start I found my heart in constant turmoil While my mind seemed lost in a daze Each time your smile embraced me With a new joy which now would stay My days would become more anxious And my nights felt the same way too As a need for you would not leave me Knowing in my heart it's because of you Each day my life becomes more inspiring Since the first moment, I met your smile Realizing joy became a sweet blessing as Each life moment became more worthwhile The first moment I heard your name I easily begin to dream of only you Finding you were needed in my life To change my sky from grey to blue I reasoned how quickly it came about How a smile which was so new to me Would cause me such unhappiness Whenever the smile I could not see Your name became like a beautiful song Whenever its beauty would grace my ears As it became the dearest of treasures That to my heart would become so dear I now realize its sweet embracing power When each new day it becomes plain to see I will always have a reason to feel this way Because God made you a true blessing for me.
