| YOURSELF TO ME
You came into my life and helped me get along,
though you not knew me or my grief at all.
Mysterious waves appeared and held me like a throng,
they swept at me and rolled around my wall.
A wondrous stream of feelings reached my heart from far away,
and filled my heart with fear and also joy.
I knew not what it was, it came by night and day,
I felt like I was nothing but a toy.
And then I realized:
a soul was reaching out,
was reaching out for me
its tender warmth and love, without a doubt.
And all my fears, they fled,
and tears dropped on my knee -
for joy and not for sorrow were they shed.
You came into my life and helped me love to use,
against all odds and freely, without pain.
Now I can share this love with others deep in blues,
because I know now: love has got a name.
