That Smile I close my eyes and look towards the starsThat Smile by ~a-fleeting-spirit
then down at the pure white paper in front of me
and try to find a way to pour my soul splashing out onto it for everyone to see;
even if you're the only one that will ever know
what it trulymeans.
You know what I mean.
That connection…it's bliss.
You are my serendipity.
You are the chance I never had and I don't think you know it,
even though I know you think you do.
When I close my eyes I can't feel anything
except your arms around me.
Except your arms, and that smile.
That smile that's easier to feel than to see.

'Fore the breath of life dies from your lips,
And the life's-blood fades from your fingertips,
Life is brief, maiden, fall in love.
Life is brief, maiden, fall in love.
Lest the fiery passion inside you grows cold,
And the wonder of life in your eyes grows old,
Life is brief, maiden, fall in love.
Life is brief, maiden, fall in love.
While the beauty outside you shows what is within,
'Fore your pureness of soul is tainted by sin,
Life is brief, maiden, fall in love.
Life is brief, maiden, fall in love.
While you care so little that your hair flies free,
And I can't have a thought but I
