Smile

peto

I'd take the heat from every burn 

The twist from a tornado's turn 

Go through a shredder on full churn 

To see your smile return 

 

I'd give you wings and watch you fly

Absorb the painful tears you cry

Then make my peace and gladly die

To see your smile return 

 

I'd take the cold from freezing frost 

Stand by your side at any cost

Bring back to life the love you lost

To see your smile return 

 

I'd stem the tides of pain in flood

Draw every single drop of blood

Be happy as a pig in mud

To see your smile return 

 

I'd give you all I have and more 

Spend decades knocking on your door 

I'd take off every stitch you wore

To see your smile return
