lyrics

I saw her in the evening
I swear she was singing
Even though she never made a sound
You think I'm lying
I saw her flying
Though her feet never left the ground

How can you see the best in me?

See the girl with the Cheshire grin
I can't wait til she smiles again

Standing in the sunlight
Where everything is all right
Haloed with a crown of gold
Fix me with a hard stare
Angel with the dark hair
A secret begging to be told

How can you see the best in me?

See the girl with the Cheshire grin
I can't wait til she smiles again

Just to bathe in her sunlight is all I had planned
She can shatter my senses with a wave of her hand
I'd pull down the stars, I would wrap up the sky
I would swallow the moon if it would catch her eye
Did I catch her eye?

The sun is setting
It bears forgetting
Soon the winter winds will blow
See you in the moonlight
I think I'm all right
Your smile's with me where I go

How can you see the best in me?

See the girl with the Cheshire grin
I can't wait til she smiles again

Did you see?
I think she smiled at me

And while my music will certainly not be for everyone, there are plenty who enjoy it very much, and that makes me happy. ... more
