I would walk from pole to pole
Bring back treasures from the ice
I would give them all to you
For your smile, it’s a small price.

I would fight down screaming hordes
With no-one at my side
I would face their undying wrath
If your smile would reach your eyes.

I would step onto the oceans
Walk the path across the sea
I would dance upon the wave crests
If on my return, you’d smile for me.

I would risk hell’s deepest pits,
No fear of fire or the flame
If I could remember your true smile
And see on your face, the very same.

I would climb the highest mountain
Catch a star within my hand
And bring it flaming, to your doorstep,
If you’d smile as there I stand.

But I can’t even find the words
At the right time, in the right place
So what good am I at doing this?
I can’t put that smile back on your face.

But think of these, these strokes of ink
They’re everything I mean to say
About how I know I might be no use
But I wish I could help you smile, anyway.
