Song Description

poignant ballad of love lost

Lyrics

People say I'm lucky
Guess it's so
Gets his way, come what may
But they don't know
In a hollow I can feel
There's a sorrow hard to heal

A blushing glance
A tender dance
For just a little while
A pretty summer dress and yes
THAT CERTAIN SMILE

I chose to wait
But far too late
And someone beat my style
Now in a secret place I trace
THAT CERTAIN SMILE

Memory carefully
Arranges what is dear
Soothes and yet
Brings one regret
Across the years

We could walk
And talk it through
That's how it ought to be
And if I'm lucky
Very lucky
She'll give that certain smile to me
