When I see you falling, when I hear you crying,
When I feel you fading away, how I wish I knew what to say,
When I see you falling, when I hear you crying,
When I feel you fading away, how I wish I knew what to pray.
Like a flower refusing to bloom when the sun hides for awhile,
It's a cruel thing you're doing: depriving the world of your smile.
When your heart defies you, when the dark mystifies you,
When the stars shine down from above, how I hope their light is enough,
And I hope you know you are loved.
Like a flower refusing to bloom when the sun hides away,
It's a cruel thing you're doing: depriving my soul of your smile today.
Like a flower refusing to bloom when the sun hides for awhile,
It's a cruel thing you're doing: depriving the world of your smile,
Like a flower refusing to bloom when the sun hides away,
Oh, it's a cruel thing you're doing: depriving my soul of your smile today.
When I see you falling, when I hear you crying,
When I feel you fading away, how I wish I knew what to say,
How I wish I knew what to pray.
