If I told you I was fine
Would you smile and read my mind
Or would you hold me just the same
And give me time?

If I would ask you how you feel
Would you let me know for real
Or would you swallow your pride
And let it be?

Say you're happy, say you’re hurt
Your eyes will tell me more than a thousand words

Imagine, darling, when one day
We'll be slow and old and grey
My shaky legs will their way back to you

Will we make the same mistakes
Or will we joke and laugh and say
Now that the end is on its way
We learn the truth

Say you're happy, say you’re hurt
Your eyes will tell me more than a thousand words

You showed me the way towards myself
You showed me all that I could be
From misunderstood to motherhood
I knew you would believe in me if we just try

I say this from my heart
It's all I aim to show
We felt this from the start
It's all we need to know
We follow our guiding light
When day turns into night

Say you're happy, say you're hurt
Say you're happy, say you're hurt

You showed me the way towards myself
Your eyes will tell me more than a thousand words
