Lyrics

Sparkle

You put the sparkle back in my smile
You made me want to walk a thousand miles
You let me know that it's so
And everything must live
Everything must breath
Now you say you must leave

You put the sparkle back in my smile, ooh baby
You made me wanna walk a thousand miles
You let me know that it's so
And everything must live
Everything must breath
Now you say you must leave
Just the other day

You seemed so content
It's a joke
You thought it up the spur of the moment
Please ease my mind
Come on set it right
'Cause if you don't

I won't sleep a wink tonight
You put the sparkle back in my smile, ooh baby
You made me wanna walk a thousand miles
You let me know that it's so
And everything must live
Everything must breath
Now you say you must leave

You let me know that it's so
And everything must live
Everything must breath
Everything must live
Everything must breath

Now you say you wanna leave
