Would She Smile

If she saw me today, If she stood here before me now, I wonder what she’d say? Would she smile? If she looked in my eyes Would she reach out and take my hand? Would I hear a sad sigh? Or would she smile? If she stood outside my window, Saw the empty space upon my floor, Would she come and knock upon my door? I don’t know... If she could hear my song, Would she leave before I sang a verse, Decide that I was wrong? Or would she smile? And is there any way That I could somehow find the words To make her want to stay? To make her smile? What could I really show her? Can I really say I’ve changed that much? And would it warrant a gentle touch? I don’t know... If she saw me today, If she held my heart within her hands, Would she just walk away Or would she smile? Would she smile?
