Lyrics
A Certain Smile
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
But in the hush of night
Exactly like a bitter sweet refrain
Comes that certain smile
To haunt your heart again
A certain smile, a certain face
Can lead an unsuspecting heart
On a merry chase
Afleeting glance can say
So many lovely things
Suddenly I know why my heart sings
You love awhile and when love goes
You try to hide the tears inside
With a cheerful pose
But in the hush of night
Exactly like a bitter sweet refrain
Comes that certain smile
To haunt your heart again
