This smile of mine
Is genuine
I wear it with a sense of pride
My every heartbeat
Sensualised
By sensing where adventure lies
.
This smile of mine
It shines divine
No blinded eyes
Dividing lines
Hereby defined
As quite benign
It’s yours of course
But then it’s mine
.
Oh Oh Oh Yeah
Oh Yeah
Yeah
.
This smile of mine
Is genuine
I wear it with a sense of pride
My every heartbeat
Sensualised
By sensing where adventure lies
.
Search inside these gentle eyes
And memorise this smile of mine
Remember why
It idolises
Knows not how to wear disguises
.
This smile of mine
It shines divine
No blinded eyes
Dividing lines
Hereby defined
As quite benign
It’s yours of course
But then it’s mine
.
This smile of mine
Is genuine
Oh Oh Oh Yeah
I wear it with a sense of pride
Oh Yeah
Yeah
.
This smile of mine
Is bona fide
I own it with a glow of pride
Will go to greatest lengths to show
All best ways known to empathise
.
There can be no fairer prize
Than one true smile
That never dies
And thus I wear this smile of mine
With never-ending enterprise
.
Mesmerising skies
It rises
Energising stars delighting
Luminescent light
So bright
It heightens
Deepens
Lengthens
Widens
.
This smile of mine
Is genuine
Oh Oh Oh Yeah
I wear it with a sense of pride
Oh Yeah
Yeah
.
Paints all kinds of fresh horizons
Leisurely each sense enlivens
Sensing where adventure lies
My every heartbeat sensualises
.
This smile of mine
It empathises
Knows when best to recognise
The need then to identify
A suchlike smile denied
.
Hide and seek
Then leads to peeking
Timely as worn floorboards creaking
Getting warm
With each smile fleeting
Heading north
With south defeated
.
Edging forth
To find it
Keep it
Live it
Breathe it
Sow it
Reap it
Only takes one smile to mean it
Open up our pores and bleed it
.
This smile of mine
Is genuine
I wear it with a sense of pride
My every heartbeat
Sensualised
By sensing where adventure lies
.
