there's something so charming about your smiling face
it my last hope, my saving grace

if only sadness knew how much your smile means to me
it would never touch you the way it does now

and if only the bad things knew how much your smile means to me
they'd leave you to find happiness somehow

the sun knows and so do the stars
they shine brighter wherever you are 

the birds sing the songs i wrote 
and you envy the person they talk about not knowing that it's you

ah, if you knew how much your smile means to me 
you'd never smile at anyone else

i keep it a secret so you don't stop smiling
crossing my fingers and hoping that nobody falls for it like i did
