And The World Was



Welcome to my world
I am so glad you came
I am tired of playing
Silly head games
So just kick off your shoes
And stay with me awhile
I have no place to be
But here with your smile

I will admit I was scared
When you walked through my door
I could not stand to go through
The hurt any more
Now I see how I was so wrong
It is time to start over
Life must go on
Welcome to our world
