Lyrics
The moment your kindness touched my heart,
Something inside of me fell apart.
I built a self that wasn’t true,
And hurt so many without knowing who.
[Verse 2]
I wandered, searching for a sign,
Why did I call your name that night?
Maybe I couldn’t stand alone,
Maybe that’s why you pulled me home.
[Chorus]
In your heart, am I smiling still?
Or am I crying, standing still?
I look for you in the winter sky,
And your star is burning bright tonight.
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
If we had passed and never met,
If I imagine that regret,
I think this world would fade from view,
My screaming heart would not survive without you.
[Verse 4]
The words you gave me light my soul,
Spring returned where ice had grown.
I won’t go back to who I was,
I’ll live as who you found because—
[Chorus]
In your heart, am I smiling still?
Or am I crying, standing still?
I look for you in the winter sky,
Your star is shining through the night.
[English Chorus (Final Lift)]
Inside your heart, my smile’s alive,
Or is it crying in the dark tonight?
I search for you in the frozen sky,
And your star is shining, shining bright.
