~~Dress Her in Black~~

If there's a girl with a smile

That seems to hide the world;

If she cries at night:

Dress her in black.

If there's a girl with a smile

That seems to scream for help;

If she tries to dance, and falls:

Dress her in black.

If her mind is screaming,

If her heart is aching--

Don't make her hide it

With brightly colored clothes.

Dress her in black.

Hide her with her smiles.

Make her feel better

As she hides.

If she wants to cry,

If she wants to run,

If she misses you:

Dress her in black.

Black will give her solace.

Black will let her hide.

Black will keep her safe--

So dress her in black.
