The Girl With the Smile [Taylor/Ross]

VERSE 1

There was a girl with the smile

I’d been asleep for just awhile...

The walls were looming high…

I'd lost my will to try...

My only living dream was not to die.

And then she caught me by surprise,

I wasn't ready for those eyes,

Mature beyond her years

Yet immature my tears

It dawned on me to walk before I fly...

CHORUS

She was the girl with the smile

Taller than the next by a mile

She wore the world like a diamond ring

So was the girl with the smile

VERSE 2

I’d like to make her only mine,

I’d like to hold her for all time,

But no one owns the sun,

It shines on everyone,

The moment that we chain our love it's done.

It was the blinking of an eye,

And in a windstorm just a sigh,

And yet it captured all,

A moment so enthralled,

That everything before or since seems small.
