You changed my world today

You changed the world today

 

you changed my world

today

 

you crossed my path

looked back at me and smiled

and it changed my world

today

 

your smile touched my heart

and melted the burdens of my day

 

you weren't trying to flirt

or trying to send me a message

you were just kind

and it showed in your eyes

 

we never talked

I never caught your name

but our souls linked for just a second

and it changed things

 

now tomorrow maybe the same old thing

but today

today

you changed my world

 

today
