When She Smiles

Now the birds are singing
And the sun is shining
And everything is going alright

But the clouds keep hanging
And it won’t stop raining
Because the clouds won’t stop crying until she smiles

Now my hands are shaking
If I look calm I’m faking
I’m as nervous as I’ll ever be tonight

My chest is aching
And my heart is quaking
Because it’s harder to breathe when she smiles
