Lyrics

When you smile, I can see
You were born, born for me
And for me you will be do or die
Oh baby, let me hold you
You make me wanna hold you
When you smile, smile, smile, smile, smile, smile, smile
When you smile, I can see
There is hope, hope for me
And for you, if you know what I mean
I'm gonna sing it to you
I'm gonna rock it to you
Every time, time, time, time, time, time, time
When you smile, I can see
You and me, me and you
There is love in your eyes when you smile
Oh baby, let me love you
You gotta let me love you
When you smile, smile, smile, smile, smile, smile, smile
When you smile, I can see
You were born, born for me
And for me you will be do or die
Oh baby, let me hold you
You make me wanna hold you
When you smile, smile, smile, smile, smile, smile, smile
