What Words Won't Do



Like the clock watches time, you stay on my mind.
No matter where the place, I swear I see your face.
If this were only a trial, I'd just call it a smile.
But I know better, it's like a verse to a letter

Feelings flow when your smile glows, but it all depends on time.
Wandering mind, I'm sure you find, I want to be your smile.
Happiness alas, could you pass that chance? I'd leave it all for you.
A song can't fool what words won't do, so here's a not so subtle clue.

When our eyes met I knew, My heart would long for you
I would walk forever and a mile, Just to be why you smile.
What ever it takes, no matter the case, time will never break.
For you I'd give the world, anything to make you my girl
