She wears a smile to brighten the darkest skynShe stands beside me and I don't know whynI fall under her spell as she beckons menAnd takes me to a place that I'd longed to seennI feel the tide of life lap at my feetnWashing away the lies, pain and deceitnnAnd now I think I knownWhy I was so alonenThe day I came from the dirtnUp into the skynAnd now I think I knownWhy I was so alonenThe day I found my hopenIn those southern eyesnnShe would hold me close and tell me not to fearnEven when I felt the need to get out of herenThere are still many times when I am feeling lownI start to slip and I start letting gonnThen she takes me by the soul and sets me freenAnd guides my heart to where it warms to bennAnd now I think I knownWhy I was so alonenThe day I came from the dirtnUp into the skynAnd now I think I knownWhy I was so alonenThe day I found my hopenIn those southern eyes
