CAN U SMILE
Minter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a sweet refrain
Like the morning dew, or the sight of you
Like the sunsets hue, every day its new
Like the Smile in You
Like your inner glow, when you say hello
Like your saddened smile, when you let me go
Like the Smile in You
What we need in life
Is still is a mystery
But you know Ill go on searching every day
And I'm sure you know, if never is that easy
But I could never last a day, without your smile
Like a winters storm,
Like the day you were born
Like the song that played, that song reminds me of you
I know that I see that laugh in you, that I see in few
Like the Smile in You
Like an Autumn breeze, as it strips the trees
Like an icy night, when you hold me tight
Like a hidden clue, and a Love so true
Like the Smile in You
What we need in life
Is still is a mystery
But you know Ill go on searching every day
And I'm sure you know, if never is that easy
But I know I could never, never last a minute
Knowing I could never see that smile in you
I could never last a day without your smile
