The dead of winter
You may recall
With your smile
You said it all
Got me dreaming
Of what might be
Got me hoping
That you’d love me.
Why
Why
Why did you have to smile at me?
Why
Why
Why did you have to smile at me?
In the doorway
You struck a pose
Looked my way
I nearly froze
I smiled back
And made my way
Didn’t know
Just what to say
Why
Why
Why did you have to smile at me?
Why
Why
Why did you have to smile at me?
One moment
One chance
Pure happenstance
The threshold
Your eyes
Imperfect surprise
The questions that haunt
And all that I want
Who are you?
Where and when
Might we ever cross paths again.
Now it’s Autumn
A few years gone
I’d like to say
That I’ve moved on
That I’m happy
Met someone new
That I never think of you.
Why
Why
Why did you have to smile at me?
Why
Why
Why did you have to smile at me?
