Well they met in line at the checkout stand
|
Both unaware of what the gods had planned
|
She was lost in her Cosmo readin' about the stars
|
He was readin' about two-headed babies from Mars
|
When she reached for a Snickers she dropped her keys
|
And so began one of life's mysteries
|
He was a little old-fashioned and a little oversexed
|
He picked them up never guessing what would happen next
|
|
Then she smiled and said I like your tie
|
Yeah she smiled and told him that little white lie
|
And his soul lit up like the fourth of July
|
When she smiled
|
|
They made it to Starbuck's just before it closed
|
He pointed to the jar and said you want one of those
|
So over biscotti and double decafs
|
They shared their stories and they had some laughs
|
He got up his courage and asked her back to his place
|
Then he held his breath as he studied her face
|
She just sat and she stared and she said nothing at all
|
He knew he blew it and he waited for the ax to fall
|
|
Then she smiled and he knew he hadn't been wrong
|
Yeah she smiled and said what took you so long
|
And the world felt good like a rock and roll song
|
When she smiled
|
|
When she smiles I forget my lines
|
When she smiles man I'm on cloud nine
|
When she smiles oh it's time out of mind
|
When she smiles
|
|
Then she smiled and said where you been all my life
|
And she smiled when he asked her to be his wife
|
And the future had never looked so bright
|
When she smiled
|
|
I'm just diggin' her diggin' me diggin' her
|
|
When she smiles I forget my lines
|
When she smiles man I'm on cloud nine
|
When she smiles oh it's time out of mind
|
When she smiles
|
|
When she smiles I come all undone
|
When she smiles I'm the only one
|
When she smiles I'm a smoking gun
|
When she smiles
|
