[Verse 1:]
When the world gets me down I find myself
Reaching for that old leather-bound book
And there he smiles the gentle smile I know so well
And I am back where I used to be

[Verse 2:]
Couldn’t speak when I saw you in town
I picked you out easily from the crowd
A mirror image of your high school photograph
You took me back where we used to be

[Chorus:]
So won’t you be my distant guiding star
I seem to lose my way among the crowd
Once in a while, in a little while
Come light my way from wherе you are

[Verse 3:]
Willows spoke, willows swayed to and from
As wе walked hand in hand by the riverflow
But now the views have changed that I used to know so well
Can’t take me back where we used to be

[Chorus:]
So won’t you be my distant guiding star
I seem to lose my way among the crowd
Once in a while, in a little while
Come light my way from where you are
[Outro:]
Come light my way from where you are
