You taught me how to laugh again And gave me back my smile, Restored my faith in people when Everyone seemed vile. You were as if the sun came up Upon my bitter night And bade the blackness rustle up Some joyful morning light. And inexplicably my heart Rose up and twirled me round, So sudden in its expert art I scarcely touched the ground. With you I am still filled with light And all my feelings dance. You are my song, my wings, my flight, My truth and my romance.
