Lyrics
Slow, secret smile
I?ve tried things two ways and prefer option ?B?
Have tried seeing clearly that you are not for me
Have berated all my whims and held fast for a while,
And then my heart gives way to that slow, secret smile
I know this is madness and is leading me astray
And I only forsee sadness if I let it have its way?.
But there?s something ?bout your voice and the light in your eyes
That ensures my heart gives way to that slow, secret smile
This smile of mine is based on sweet delusion
But if it?s all I?ll find I welcome that illusion
And maybe this tale won?t have a ?happy ever? end
And maybe all you?ll be is an annoyingly dear good friend
But ?til my life is done there will be no denial,
Of that slow, secret, sumptuous smile
