I WANNA BE YOUR SMILE

No longer I can keep this to myself
A secret crush on you I must confess
It is only to you I can never tell

I wanna be your smile
Just want to feel your style
I wanna be your smile
To be that sweet thing in my mind

I see the pictures and videos you do
As you sing every woman is inspired to lead
The beauty of you has nothing to prove

I wanna be your smile
Just want to feel your song
I wanna be your smile
To hear that sweet thing all-day long

No longer you're the one to make commands
The power is at your hand without demands
Call me a friend or a fan just glad to be this kind of man

I wanna be your smile
Just want to see you in my dreams
I wanna be your smile
To hear you sing

THE SMILE REMAINS

A child walked into the light

She smiled brighter than that light

With her smile she dried up the tears of a nation

Brought a dream to those hearts she touched

Mixed with smile and a laugh

She danced with it all she gave so much

Sweetness at a young age

Sweetness that will always remain the same

No matter if times have change

She will give of her self in many ways

The smile remains

CAN THE HEART

Can the heart
Read the mind of a lonely stranger
Can the heart
Feel the pain of a lonely stranger

Can the heart be blind?
When there is nothing to find

Can the heart be hurt?
When only the mind is hurt

Can the heart go numb?
When there is no love

Even if the heart breaks
Can joy and happiness be faked

What covers the heart's pain?
A mask or a tear
Or smile on my face
