When You Smile

I dreamed last night i was born a hundred years ago
But when i woke up i was lost with only one place to go
When you smile, i don't know what to do
Cause i could lose everything in a minute or two
It's not fair to put you against
All of the years behind me
But history kind of pales when you and you are aligned
When you smile, i don't know what to do
Cause i could lose everything in a minute or two
And it seems like the end of the world
When you smile
Well there's never been a man who's been
Anymore than bones in sack
But it doesn't take much to hold the possibilities back
When you smile, i don't know what to do
Cause i could lose everything in a minute or two
And it seems like the end of the world
When you smile
When you smile, i don't know what to do
Cause i could lose everything in a minute or two
And it seems like the end of the world
Yes, it seems like the end of the world
Yes, it seems like the end of the world
When you smile
When you smile
When you smile
When you smile
