She Talks Like a Smile

A new gal in town
Fun to be around
Donning white gown
Sweet like a swan
But now she's gone
Yeah, she is now gone

When they heard her talk, she talked like a smile
When they saw her walk, she walked in style
But the walk is gone and the talk is gone
And the smile is gone and the style is gone

She drove a truck
That was tinted brown
She had a trailer
Parked on her lawn
But the truck is gone
And the trailer is gone

When they heard her talk, she talked like a smile
When they saw her walk, she walked in style
But the walk is gone and the talk is gone
And the smile is gone and the style is gone

She was in a choir
The town admired
Rhythm she inspired
Setting voice on fire
She was so pretty
Crafty and guile

When they heard her talk, she talked like a smile
When they saw her walk, she walked in style
But the walk is gone and the talk is gone
And the smile is gone and the style is gone

Children laughed
When she winked a lot
Men did hound
Hearing her sound
But the sound is gone
And the hound is gone

When they heard her talk, she talked like a smile
When they saw her walk, she walked in style
But the walk is gone and the talk is gone
And the smile is gone and the style is gone

Rumor has it
She has been found
She has a truck
That is tinted brown
She has a trailer
Parked on her lawn
Two towns down

When they hear her talk, she talks like a smile
When they see her walk, she walks in style
Her walk is style and her talk is smile
Her walk is style and her talk is smile

Hi Vijay, your creative style shines through once more in this little gem. A wonderful lyric my friend. I would say the instrumental would be Country or Latin. The whole lyric is a dance in words my friend. I enjoyed so much the easy going, fun lyrics. It made me sing in my mind. Another excellent write Vijay. A fave to me. Have a wonderful Thursday. Your friend always....Mike.
