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
