I wanted you to be happy
I wanted to make you smile
I wanted to make you love me
But there's nothing I could do
That could make you love me more
I know you're a light inside my darkness
I know you're a hope in my despair
I know you were chosen from creation
To walk beside me all my life
And to help me understand
Love shine from above
I was too young to remember Vietnam
And I'm too old to fight in Iran
Seems I'm always out of touch
Just a little bit behind the times I'm in
I wasn't too young to fight for your hand
And I'm never too old to try and understand
What do you see in the old soul
Trying not to lose control of
Who I am
Love shine from above
Love shine from above
I wanted you to be happy
