"I have sometimes been widley, despairingly, acutley miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing" Agatha Christie

I saw her on the street corner all alone.
Hiding in the shadows, to afriad to appear

chorus:
Her eyes were sad
her lips quivered
She looked at me
longing for help

I saw her looking at me as though she longed for me to help.
Help with her life and then she let out a yelp.

chorus

All I did was stare
stare back at the girl on the street corner. Such a small, tiny girl

chorus

Stare back at the girl on the street corner
on the street corner
whom was looking back at me
from the broken mirror

Faith is like learning to walk; you have to fall at first, but don&#039;t stay down. When in doubt, don&#039;t stop believing.

Loving someone doesnt need a reason. If you can explain why you love someone, its not called &quot;love&quot;... Its called &quot;like&quot;.
