The Borrower

Can I borrow your happiness
You see I have none of my own
I lost mine years ago
And since have been all alone

Can I borrow a smile or two
To cover the pain I feel
Patch it on this open wound
And allow my heart to heal

Can I borrow a little love
To warm this tired old soul
Add new life to this barren one
Let the seeds of your love grow

Can I borrow a life
The one I have is dead
I don't even have a happy thought
Wandering around in my head

So if you could share some joy
With this heart made of stone
I would be forever grateful
And no longer would I be alone
