sometimes i wonder
how i'd ever make it through
through this world without having you
i just wouldn't have a clue
sometimes it seems like this world's closing in on me
and there's no way of breaking free
then i see you reach out for me, oh
sometimes i wanna give up
wanna give in
wanna quit the fight

then one look at you baby
can make everything alright
make everything alright

when i see you smile
i can face the world
oh, you know i can do anything
when i see you smile
i see a ray of light
oh i see it shining right through the rain
when i see you smile
baby when i see you smile at me

baby when there's nothing in this world that could ever do
what the touch of your hand can do
it's like nothing i ever knew
and when the rain is fallin'
i don't feel it 'coz you're here with me
and one look at you baby
is all i ever need
it's all i ever need

when i see you smile
i can face the world
oh, you know that i can do anything
when i see you smile
i see a ray of light
oh i see it shining right through the rain
when i see you smile
baby when i see you smile at me

sometimes i wanna give up
wanna give in
wanna quit the fight
then one look at you baby
can make everything alright
make everything alright

when i see you smile
i can face the world
oh, you know i can do anything
when i see you smile
i see a ray of light
oh i see it shining right through the rain
when i see you smile
baby when i see you smile at me
