Because Of You

BECAUSE OF YOU

I know myself much better now
Because of you.
I can look towards the future now
Because of you.

My life has turned the corner and the new street is much more inviting.
The footpaths are cleaner.
The gardens bright with flowers.
There are trees and birds and sunshine
And I feel more like singing than I ever felt before
Because of you.

Because you came into my life I can smile.
Because you entered my being I laugh out loud.
I’m so different I can hardly believe myself.
Give me your hand and walk with me. 
Throw me your smile.
It’s my life-line.
I’m ready now
Let’s take the next step together.
