The Day I Met Her

I still remember the day I met her,

Like a lamb lost in a herd.

Alone was she in the crowd,

Her eyes searching for her lost smile.

Give her the smile she yearns for,

Said my mind to my heart.

Oh a thousand voices told me no,

But I couldn’t listen, I was in love!

I will love her like the winter night’s cold,

I will love her like the summer sun,

I will give her the life she so truly deserves,

I will love her like none has before.

Give her a smile, give her jive,

Make her see she was still alive.

Give her the smile she yearns for,

Said my mind to my heart.

I still remember the day I met her,

Like a sweet midnight dream from yesterday.

A stroll down the memories opened my eyes,

Was it I who gave her a smile,

Or was it she who gave me a life,

Was it the Gods who gave her to me.

Barren and abandoned was my heart,

A place ever so filled with thorns,

Redeemed and tidied with her love,

Like showers of rain over the barren land.

I still remember the day I met her,

Like a lamb lost in the herd,

But was it I who was lost,

Was it she who had found me.

Was it I who gave her a smile

Or was it she who gave me a life…
