John Van Deusen - She Smiles Lyrics

I've enclosed
The light in darkness
Enshrines the flower with a veil
Closes every hint beauty
Defends protect and steals
My attempts at communication
Every branch I try to reach
Simply cannot overtake it
Mobilize in my own distrust

I just want to understand her
The way she moves
What makes her tick
The fog has momentarily blinded
Labyrinth walls have grown thick

All this work seems to be for nothing
But I know that is a lie
For her smile hints with a shade of twilight
Character screams with a breathless sigh

Quickly stumble into her conscious
Listen intently to all the words
Gently lowering my bridges
In hopes of touching her
And unclear the window
To her emotions
Feature of this crooked smile
Perfect in all its incompletion
Think can we crash into her now
Into her room

I am frantic
And limitations
Feverish intents all flamed
Impassioned by the glory in this
Angered in the knowledge that
In time this worldly love will fail me
Everything I grip will fall
But she defies all blank suspicion
Eye contact we make and she smiles
She smiles

Open the doors to my obsession
Built it of this painted picture
Judgement retires for the night
All I have left is this
Brilliant creature here beside me
Lovely in every single way

God was attentive when he made here
Guess I'll blame this all on him
All on him

I am frantic
And limitations
Feverish intents all flamed
Impassioned by the glory in this
Angered in the knowledge that
In time this worldly love will fail me
Everything I grip will fall
But she defies all blank suspicion
Eye contact we make and she smiles

She smiles
She smiles
Ooh
She smiles
