Let me...

Let me show you how to fly
hold you gently by the hand
kiss your tears goodbye.

Let me show you the light
lead you out of needless rain,
see you smile again.

Let me sing you all the songs I wrote
til you sleep in my arms
and awake with the sunlight in your face.

Let me bring you up the mountain
see you touch the skies
smile while I look into your eyes.

Let me help you sail
like a butterfly 
gifted with pretty wings.

Let me do all these to let you see
You're the precious gem
the earth and the sky 

So fly with me,
and then stretch your wings
I'll be here.
