When You Smile by Melodie Yvonne

When I am old and I forget the things that caused me hurt
Don’t remind me of the truth that’s plagued me from my birth

When I am old and all alone and don’t remember why
Tell me that it was my choice to not just pick some guy

When I am old and all my thoughts are grey and kinda rainy
Lie to me about the end and say it’s ever-changing

And when I’m tired and all the stars above have called me home
Know that I am proud of you and how well you have grown

Hear me in the wind outside as melodies on chimes
Sing one note and I’ll be there like Fezzik to a rhyme

Dance and giggle, feel with all your soul and then use mine
Shed not a tear and in your mirror you’ll see me when you smile
