I Love Your Smile
Ben Liebrand Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And played everything just right
Then came the news telling me not to worry
The show is selling out tonight
Well, the lights went on and suddenly the crowd began to scream
And as you could well imagine, it was like living a dream
Oh, but when the lights went down and the standing "O" was done
I was just another lonely guy who didn't have no one
I wanted your love
Your love, your love, love, love, love, love
So busy daydreaming 'bout you baby
I didn't even hear the phone
Then when my friends rang the doorbell it scared me
They said, "we're so glad you're home!
You just won a million dollars and a trip around the world?
Better get yourself and forget about that girl
They thought I was acting crazy not to get excited too
But all the money in the world could never take the place of you
All over the city the lights were so pretty
The holiday was filled with cheer
The stars really glistened and lovers were kissin'
It was the special part of the year
So what a perfect time it was to find someone to say "I do"
Thought that I could still be happy even though she wasn't you
We had told the world we were going to ring the wedding bell
But when I really thought about it, I was really lying to myself
In Ben Liebrand's song "I Love Your Smile", the singer describes his experience at a concert where everything went perfectly - the band was on time for rehearsal and played everything just right. Then, he receives news that the show is selling out, and the lights go on, and the crowd begins to scream. It was like living a dream. However, as the lights went down and the standing ovation was done, the singer realizes he was just another lonely guy who didn't have anyone. The singer then confesses he wanted the love of a special someone - someone who could make him feel complete.
The second verse sees the singer daydreaming about the person he wants to love and not even hearing his phone ring and not noticing his friends ringing the doorbell. When his friends tell him he has won a million dollars and a trip around the world, they do not understand his lack of excitement as they think he is acting crazy. The singer knows that all the money in the world could never take the place of his special someone. Finally, the singer concludes that he thought he could still be happy even if he found somebody else to marry, but the truth is he was lying to himself; he could never love anyone else as much as he loved this person.
Overall, "I Love Your Smile" is a song about longing for love and how expensive gifts or even a staged marriage could never replace true love.

It was the most special time of the year
So what a perfect time it was to find someone to say 'I do'
It was a perfect time to find someone to marry
Thought that I could still be happy even though she wasn't you
I believed that I could be happy with someone else, even if they were not you
We had told the world we were going to ring the wedding bell
We had informed others that we were planning to get married
But when I really thought about it, I was really lying to myself
When I reflected on it, I realized that I was deceiving myself
