what can i do to wipe those tears from your eyes?
what can i do to make you smile again?
what can i do to clear all frustration in your life?
there's so much i want to do
yet i don't know how
i truly don't know how
	(i feel helpless...
	        useless)
i want to be your answer
i want to make everything right
i want to make you sincerely happy
		   purely happy
		   euphoric happy
there's so much i want to do
yet i don't know how
i truly don't know how
	(i feel helpless...
	        useless)
but all this time
of sincere encouragements
   poetic inspirations
   endless letters
   repetitive talks
seem to be pointless
	they only satisfied the present sadness
seem to be empty
	they didn't leave you happy for long
		(or so i think)
oh how i wish i am the light
that shines on you from the rise and set
that causes you to smile that impish smile
	        to laugh that childish laugh
so you may once again
	play in the sand
	dance in the rain
	sing in the sun
	swim in the sea
	walk in the light
so you may once again
        be the beautiful person
	        that you are
