Sweet Embrace

Oh how I miss you, let me count the ways.
Yeah it’s been too many days.

Oh how your fire kept me warm.
When I felt I could not go on.

And your smile could captivate a room.
Like an arrow piercing my heart right through.

Oh how I miss your sweet embrace.
More amazing than God's good grace.
It was something i could feel,
something real,
at least for a little while.
I miss your damn smile.

Your laughter was a torch that shined so bright.
It led me out of my cave and into your light.

You taught me that life was worth living.
And that my reflection was worth forgiving.

Oh how I miss your sweet embrace.
More amazing than God's good grace.
It was something I could feel,
something real,
at least for a little while.
I miss your damn smile.
Oh how I miss you,
I wish that i could still kiss you,
Oh I miss your goddamn beautiful smile.
