You smiled and said hello
That's how it all began
A simple gesture
A simple word

It's funny how
Sush simple thing
Can change the world

There's something I never told you
Something you never knew
The day we met--
Well, I wasn't as happy as I seemed

I pretended to smile
And pretended to laugh
You saw right through this--
THANK GOD you saw right through it

You asked me if I was ok
You seemed to understand
Even when I said I'm fine
You smiled and took my hand

You told me that it was ok
If I needed to cry I could
You didn't even know my name
But it seemed you knew better than I

So you took me in your arms
And you let me cry

And when I was finished
It felt so much better
I had to take the time to say thank you
For all the things that you did.
