Innocence

I still love the smell

The sweet smell of incense

Since the prayers and the bells

Made complete sense

Most of all I loved benediction

With an innocent child's conviction

Innocence

Sweet smell of innocence

I remember the lights

On the Christmas tree

And the waiting in turn

To see what he brought me

Oh the joy, the love and belief

And the Christmas lullabies

Singing me to sleep

Innocence

Sweet smell of innocence

Between the past

And whatever the future sends

I choose innocence

I remember the taste

Of the first kiss by the river

And the promises we'd keep

Forever and ever

I still love the smell

Of my innocent years

And I choose innocence

After my tears

Innocence

Sweet smell of innocence

Sweet smell of innocence
