When You Smile

Now, I don wanna fall in love again,
Cause that means I'd have to let someone in.
And I don't wanna hurt you,
Don't wanna make you cry.
But if I don't tell you,
I think I'd almost die.

Cause when you smile
The sun comes out, n butterflies fly.
Your cheeks fluster my speech, n it's hard to say goodbye.

Now I've wanted to love you,
I hope you see that it's true,
As a sister before anything.
Your worth waiting for,
Hope that you see as I sing,
There's something I can't ignore.

Cause when you smile
The sun comes out, n butterflies fly.
Your cheeks fluster my speech, n it's hard to say goodbye.

Now there's something about
Just wantin to scream and shout,
You may not be short on love,
But you sure got some fight
A kind of push n shove,
Even when it's late at night.

Cause when you smile
The sun comes out, n butterflies fly.
Your cheeks fluster my speech, n it's hard to say goodbye.

Now, I've waited this long,
To talk about what's in this song.
Now that I've said it, I just might
Have to love that smile.
What you lack in height,
You make up for in your smile.

Cause when you smile
The sun comes out, n butterflies fly.
Your cheeks fluster my speech, n it's hard to say goodbye.

Now, I've waited cause I wanted to be sure,
Of what was n was not, I couldn't ignore
That when they've asked about me,
You've always said no, he too old.
This makes me think I see, this could never be
More than has already been told.

This observation, makes me wanna know,
Can do I wanna stay or go?
Be honest with me, am I inappropriate
In what I've had to say?
Know that I've only said it,
Else it'd kill me, n He said it's okay.

And when you smile
The sun comes out, n butterflies fly.
Your cheeks fluster my head, n it's hard to say goodbye.

Now there's a light in your eye,
Nuff to make a grown man cry.
Breaks my heart to ever see you sad, oh
When we talk, there's nothing you coulda told,
That could ever make my heart, ever grow cold
Cause your bright eyes, light up my shadow.

And when... you... smile
The sun comes out when it's been awhile
N butterflies fly, but never have to die.
When I catch your eye from across the room,
Those cheeks fluster my speech, and something in my heart
Falls back again.
It's hardest think, when I see you smile.
But it's hardest to say goodbye
At the end of the night
Cause when... you... smile
When you smile...

Something comes alive.

This song was written for a little squirt of mine. She doesn't know this is for her yet, cause I haven't told her anything in this song... so don't tell! I wrote this after going insane on a Saturday. This just had to be written down. Here tis.
