lyrics

I follow your smile
And try as I might
I can't get it
Out of my heart
It's captured my heart
I follow your mind
And though it may be unwise
I see nothing else
You're part of myself
I follow your soul
I know it will make me whole
With you I am one
My vision is one
Once I thought my goal was so far away
My long and tender search
Now I see
Within your very smile
The way
Within my heart
It ever plays
A symphony
That sings an endless praise
Smile of the beyond
Lord of the day
Your face is an endless ray
Of love in my life
Light in my life
Please let me stay
And be by your side forever
Watching you smile
I live for your smile
Smile of the beyond
Blessed are the pure in heart
Blessed are the pure in heart
[(repeat)]
Please let me stay
And be by your side forever
Watching your smile
I live for your smile
Now I see
Within your very smile
The way
Within my heart
It ever plays
A symphony
That sings an endless praise
Smile of the beyond
