Locked In a Smile
locked in a smile
are secrets untold
reality waiting for love
to unfold
anxiously waiting are words
that are kept
inside my heart
to an unknown depth
for unto you i give my eyes
for my eyes there is
no greater prize
for unto you i give my ears
for each utterance and
every syllable it hears
locked in a smile
are secrets untold
of lips that would kiss you
and hands that would hold
arms that would embrace
if you grew cold
to give you my heart
is my highest goal
a love everlasting
as we both grow old
locked in a smile
are secrets untold
of love that reached
all the way to the soul
in you i'd place my loyalty
in you i'd place my fate
in you i'd place my honor
in promises and vows of faith
you are a restless spirit
a plague inside my mind
invading every inch
and every minute of time
locked in a smile
are secrets untold
of how you are my heaven
and how you are my hell
my mind paints pictures
of me loving you so well
yet i wait for the day
when i'm brave enough to tell
wishing you felt the same
that would be so swell
