Jesus to a Child

Kindness

In your eyes, I guess

You heard me cry

You smiled at me

Like Jesus to a child

I'm blessed

I know

Heaven sent

Heaven stole

You smiled at me

Like Jesus to a child

And what have I learned?

From all this pain

I thought I'd never feel the same

About anyone

Or anything again

But now I know

When you find your love

When you know that it exists

Then the lover that you miss

Will come to you on those cold, cold nights

When you've been loved

When you know it holds such bliss

Then the lover that you kissed

Will comfort you when there's no hope in sight

Sadness

In my eyes no one guessed

Or no one tried

You smiled at me

Like Jesus to a child

Loveless

And cold

With your last breath

You saved my soul

You smiled at me

Like Jesus to a child

And what have I learned

From all these tears?

I've waited for you all those years

And just when it began

He took your love away

But I still say

When you find love

When you know that it exists

Then the lover that you miss

Will come to you

On those cold, cold nights

When you've been loved

When you know it holds such bliss

Then the lover that you kissed

Will comfort you when there's no hope in sight

So the words you could not say

I'll sing them for you

And the love we would have made

I'll make it for two

For every single memory

Has become a part of me

You will always be

My love

Well I've been loved

So I know just what love is

And the lover that I kissed

Is always by my side

Oh the lover I still miss

Was Jesus to a child
