“Lauren”
written on 10/2/06

she has the kind of eyes that are one-in-a-million
and she sings in a way i won’t hear again until i’m in heaven
she has the most beautiful hair and the looks of an angel
but she doesn’t see what she’s got

i need you to see yourself the way that  i see you
i need you to know how much i care
it feels like a million daggers are stuck in my heart
when i see that sad look in your eyes
i want you to believe in yourself like i do

i want you to call me if you’re ever sad and lonely
i really love cheering you up
i want you to know i’ll always be there
you never can forget your first love
i always carry memories of you around

i want you to dance through your house every night
i want you to sing your heart out
i want to see that sparkle of joy in your eyes
there’s nothing like seeing you smile
i want to see all your Lauren-ness radiate out

she has the most innocent eyes that never fail to see right through me
you’ll always have a piece of my heart
you’re the most unique girl that i’ve ever met
i want you to see what you’ve got

please sit close to me and know that you’re loved
you wow me just by being yourself
always look for the bright side and keep your chin up
there’s absolutely nothing better than seeing you smile
