My Sweetest Joy

by Tainted Butterfly   Feb 17, 2005


I searched on day
For life's direction
I saw only me in that mirror
That lone reflection
Some people say life is easy
Most will say it's hard
Some things are for certain
And some are just a wild card

It was in those darkest hours
Of that ordinary day
You walked into my life
And swept the dark away
Now I know that life has meaning
I just had to see it
My faith has returned
I just can't believe it

My sweetest joy,
You're a candle in my night
You're my reason left to fight
You make my heart want to give
Give my weary soul the will to live
I'm so grateful you're around
And I thank the stars you I found
No matter what I know I need not look far
Just search my heart and there you are.
My sweetest joy.

The circles in this life
Still make me go around in turns
My heart has still been scarred
I still feel the burns
Then I look at you
My oh so wonderful one
It's like the dawn of that new day
I feel like the light of the sun

I didn't know that in this life
There was still so much more
I feel like it's the first time
My ship has reached it's shore.
I'll no longer stumble and fall
Now that I have the strength to stand
And all I had to do
Was reach out and take your hand

My sweetest joy
You're a candle in my night
You're my reason left tofight
You make my heart want to give
Give my weary soul the will to live
I'm so grateful you're around
And I thank the stars you I found
No matter what I know, I need not look far
Just search my heart and there you are.

My sweetest joy.

    The cool thing about your work is that they're all so joyful, but riddled with dark undertones. I like that.
