All I Want to Do
I lay here in the darkness
and wonder all alone
Of how you and I
have become so close
You’ve told me of the good times
you’ve told me of the bad
You’ve told me of the memories
some happy some sad
And though what has happened
can never be changed
All I want to do
is put a smile on your face
I’ve listened to your eyes
so silent when they speak
And absorbed all the feelings
that lie underneath
And often times I wonder
what it is I perceive
Could it be anything
but two part harmony
I’ve known you as a loved one
and shared you as a friend
I’ve watched you as a person
one whose grown within
I’ve held you close to me
when you were feeling pain
But all I want to do
is put a smile on your face
I’ve seen you with smiles
and I’ve seen you in tears
I’ve tried to make you overcome
some of your fears
And I’ve watched all those minutes
turn to hours then to days
I’ve shared in your dreams
in so many ways
So let’s reach to the sky
for whatever remains
And please let me put
a smile on your face
