Smile
It's been a while since I've seen that smile
I can't help but wonder
And it's nothing but natural to wonder
If you've ever loved her
I'll be sure when I see
That I can make you smile like that
Smile like that
Guess it's something I can't help
When I notice the way your eyes focus
On each word and gesture
She does that makes you smile like that
Smile like that now
I like that your heart is open
And you love freely and all but
Not like that
I want us to be two lovely people
Not really like three
Now I like that your heart is open
And you love freely and all but
Not like that
I want us to be two lovely people
Just two, just me, just you
But I don't really mind if you smile like that...
If it's something you can't help
Don't worry
But don't pretend you don't see
And feel what's obvious to me
Oh but then you smile like that
When you smile like that
If it's something we don't have
It's natural to just leave it
At that so to let you be and maybe find
Someone that makes me smile like that
I wanna smile like that yet I
Still like that your heart is open
And you love freely and all so
Stay like that
Let's hope that we'll be two lovely people
Now I set you free
