Drowning in Your Smile

When I look at you I see your eyes
looking back at me with a hope
that nothing bad will ever happen
and a glow that promises good times ahead

All my love for you seeps through me
and I wonder if you know
know how I feel, how I long to feel
how I've dreamed of feeling

I never dreamed of feeling this way
awaiting our next meeting as if it were our last
I catch myself thinking of you whenever I'm alone
and when I'm with you it takes all that I have
to keep from telling you all my hopes and dreams

Your smile, so true, sweeps me up
takes me higher than I've ever been
it brings me close to you
so close that all I can do is love you

I try to breathe but I gasp for air
the sick air I've grown accusted to breathing
the air of the world that tells me to live without love
to live for myself and not for love

But your smile offers so much more
mornings full of warm hugs and cheerful greetings
days full of life and light
nights full of laughter and smiling tears

What more can I do while I'm drowning in your smile?
