Verse 1:

It must’ve been a dream the way you came to me. The day was wild and free when you gave yourself to me. Now your love has set me free.

Chorus:

In your smile I see

a whole new world

Opening up in front of me

And in your eyes

I find a love that’s pure

Verse 2:

Two were joined as one

Now look what we’ve become

All the wrong we had ever done was all lost in a blazing sea. Now your grace so amazes me. Yeah!

Chorus:

In your smile I see

a whole new world

Opening up in front of me

And in your eyes

I find a love that’s pure

Line by Line Meaning

The shadow of your smile
The memory of your happy expression will stay with me

When you have gone
Once you have left my presence

Will color all my dreams
Will affect the way I dream

And light the dawn
And bring light to my new day

Look into my eyes my love and see
Pay attention to me, and know what I mean

All the lovely things you are to me
All the traits that make you special to me

Our wistful little star
Our fond little memory

It was far, too high
It was an unattainable goal

A teardrop kissed your lips
You were crying when I comforted you

And so did I
I shared your emotions and responded with caring

Now when I remember spring
In the future, when I recall the spring season
