Smile a While for Me

Once, a long, long time ago, I had a very dear and wonderful friend, and on occasion he called me Sara Smile, after the song. In fact, on occasion, he would serenade me with it, half-teasing and half-loving. Now I use it as an ID in certain circles, and I find it comforting. Not just as an ego-booster pretty song with my name in it, but as a reminder of him and of the proverbial simpler, more innocent time.

Baby hair with a woman's eyes
I can feel you watching in the night
All alone with me and we're waiting for the sunlight

When I feel cold you warm me
When I feel I can't go on you come and hold me
It's you... And me forever
Sara Smile
Oh Won't you smile a while for me, Sara

If you feel like leaving you know you can go
But why don't you stay until tomorrow?
And if you want to be free,
all you have to do is say so

When you feel cold, I'll warm you
And when you feel you can't go on, I'll come and hold you
It's you... And me forever
Sara Smile
Oh Won't you smile a while for me, Sara
