I gotta tell you what's in my heart
It's really hard but here's a start
Words don't seem to say enough about how I feel
And what's been burnin' in my heart
So put your precious hand in mine
I'll try to tell you what's on my mind
When you smile at me
It's a brand new day
When you smile at me
It takes my breath away
When you smile at me
My sun comes out
When you smile at me
It makes me wanna shout
A lifetime isn't enough time to say what I gotta say
Or even enough time to play the way we play
The ocean of our love can be a stormy sea
But in the end it's just you and me
When you smile at me
It's a brand new day
When you smile at me
It takes my breath away
When you smile at me
My sun comes out
When you smile at me
It makes me wanna shout
Forget the sunshine that comes up through the trees
Forget the lightning, don't mean a thing to me
Forget the stars at night, it's not what sets me free
Nothing else compares to what your, smile does to me...Yeah..Yeah
When you smile at me
It's a brand new day
When you smile at me
It takes my breath away
When you smile at me
My sun comes out
When you smile at me
It makes me wanna shout
When you smile at me
It makes me wanna shout
