Sometimes I felt like everything was in vain,
sometimes I felt like giving up on life,
every time I tried, I was overwhelmed with pain,
every time I tried, it seemed to be in strife,
but lately something's changed around here,
lately I've been smiling from ear to ear,
'cause now I have you, and you're so kind,
now I have you, and you're quite the find,
you're what I never knew I needed,
you're what I never knew I was searching for,
this time I think I have finally succeeded,
this time I think I can spread my wings and soar,
'cause you have made me a better man,
you have made me see that I can,
I can make it through this life,
I can forget about that knife,
so won't you stay here with me a while,
won't you show me just how to survive,
because with you I know just how to smile,
because with you I know that I am alive...
