Analysis of To See You Smile
If ever you feel sad, please let
Me help you smile again;
Or if you ever feel upset,
I'll come to you and then
Each moment will be used to find
The happiness you need,
To push sad feelings far behind
Where they will soon recede.
For you I want this everyday
And all that life can be,
Since you have made my life that way
By sharing life with me!
