I see my happiness shine in your eyes, Every time you hold my hand my heart skips a beat. How sweet life is to be yours; How meaningless life is without you. They know nothing of the loneliness before you Nothing of the empty tears I cried day after day, How did you do it, I ask myself, How did you banish the fear, the darkness? You have made me see that nothing is that bad, That I am strong and worthy of happiness, You have saved me from myself. Everyday I wake up and smile to myself Knowing you are waiting for me, Knowing you can't wait to see me
