When the world gets me down I find myself
Reaching for that old leather-bound book
And there he smiles the gentle smile I know so well
And I am back where I used to be

Couldn?t speak when I saw you in town
I picked you out easily from the crowd
A mirror image of your high school photograph
You took me back where we used to be

So won?t you be my distant guiding star
I seem to lose my way among the crowd
Once in a while, in a little while
Come light my way from where you are

Willows spoke, willows swayed to and from
As we walked hand in hand by the riverflow
But now the views have changed that I used to know so
well
Can?t take me back where we used to be

So won?t you be my distant guiding star
I seem to lose my way among the crowd
Once in a while, in a little while
Come light my way from where you are

Come light my way from where you are
