The Smiling Days Are Soon to Come
How sad is life, even in it's beauty
To travel alone
How dark are days, even in sunshine
To smile at no one......................
For every creature, no matter how low
Should somehow find it's mate
The universe is set up that way
Call it God or Fate
Every hand has it's perfect fit
Every mouth, it's kiss
Every heart has it's nestled home
And every soul, it's bliss.
And those that find that hand to hold
And those that taste that kiss
Their hearts will know the joy of life
For life is made for this
And if you don't, what then is life?
What joy will fill your seas?
Your lips will hunger for that kiss
Your mouth will fill with pleas
I used to walk a withered earth
Soul bound to loveless death
Until I saw your shining face
And my lungs filled up with breath
I used to cry in midnight's bed
Till tears soaked every cover
I used to search the world in vain
Looking for my lover
And then the light broke through the dark
And tears dried instantly
Your hand pushed back that thorny hedge
And you reached out to me
I cannot say I'm not afraid
For I've been afraid so long
To trust another searching soul
Who tomorrow may be gone
I haven't smiled in such a while
I haven't felt sweet joy
My eyes, downcast, have met no others
For fear, not being coy
But give me time and we may find
That our hearts have found their home
For my hungry heart is telling me
That the smiling days are soon to come.
