Smile an everlasting smile A smile could bring you
near to me Don't ever let me find you gone 'Cause that
would bring a tear to me This world has lost its glory
Let's start a brand new story Now my love right now
there'll be No other time and I can show you How my
love Talk in everlasting words And dedicate them all
to me And I will give you all my life I'm here if you
should call to me You think that I don't even mean
A single word I say It's only words,
and words are all I have to take your heart away You
think that I don't even mean A single word I say It's
only words, and words are all I have to take your heart
away It's only words, and words are all I have to take your heart away
