1000 Watt Smile

That thousand watt smile..
No one competed by a mile
Her beauty and her grace made the pain so worthwhile 

She was sweet, she was pure
Even a little insecure
Yet the twinkle in her eye was her charming signature

The wonder in her eyes
Like watching oceans rise
Like trying to catch a galaxy but you fall into the skies

To the flowers in her hair
And the reverence in the air 
A thousand sunshines later, you’ll remember her I swear
