Cherished Smile

neo-folk ballad-for a friend in need

Cherished Smile
by Patricia Francis - Copyright © Patricia Francis

 

How can I help you
How can I pull you through
I see the pain in your eyes

Tell me your troubles
ease your weary heart
don't let your burdens
tear you apart

Guilt is not the answer
no, it's no way to live
Fear is the lock
and love the key I give

Life is just a journey
a simple passage through time
You are my brother
I'm glad your path crossed mine

Our lives are short here
before you look our day is done
What will you leave behind
of your season in the sun?

So many leave
a legacy of pain
overflowing tears,
heartbreak, guilt and shame

You deserve much better
so leave your troubles at my door
I'll help you find the light
'cause that's what friends are for

Just be at peace
and sit with me awhile
'cause I've been waiting
for your cherished smile

Yes I've been waiting
for your cherished smile
