Smile.

I saw you cry the day I left
I left the day I made you cry;
stolen in the night and gone in the day;
that was the day my life stopped
thats when you went away.

I cried and fell apart
that was the day you broke my heart
I can't understand why you couldn't stay
I can hear it in my head, that thing you would always say.

Your laugh, your smile, your voice, your dance
I beg and I plea, please.. one more chance.
to say I love you and give you a hug
to forgive you for yelling and attacking me with bugs!

One look and it was an instant trial
I'll see you again, its something I can say
I'll think of you and I'll cry, once and a while
my dear sweet boy.. are you okay?
can you smile?
