Lyrics
- There were tears in the hour that was darkest
The hour that came just before dawn
But a smile lurks today
Where a tear used to stray
And the curtain of darkness is drawn
Chorus:
Every heart is lighter
Every smile is brighter
Sad “Adieu” is changing to “Hello” again
Sorrow walked before us
But a prayer watched o’er us
We strayed far but here we are
Hand in hand again
- Not a sparrow may fall from the tree top
Unknown to the angels above
So then why should our fears
Turn our smiles to tears
Heaven watches o’er all hearts that love
