But the light of your love isn't there to save me from the shadow of gloom.

I ponder and wonder, was it your gorgeous smile that shielded your tears,

Or I erred by not seeing the malaise beyond your grandeur.

If only I could turn the wheels of time back and change everything,

And fill your life with joy, laughter, and a heart ever so smiling.
