When You Smile | A song by The Dream Syndicate, 1982
The Dream Syndicate, 1982
I dreamed last night I was born a thousand years ago
But when I woke up I was lost with only one place to go
When you smile, I don’t know what to do
Cause I could lose everything in a minute or two
It’s not fair to put you against all of the years behind me
But history kind of pales when it and you are aligned
When you smile, I don’t know what to do
Cause I could lose everything in a minute or two
And it seems like the end of the world
When you smile
Well there’s never been a man who’s been anymore than bones in sack
But it doesn’t take much to hold the possibilities back
When you smile, I don’t know what to do
Cause I could lose everything in a minute or two
And it seems like the end of the world
When you smile
