I Could Watch You Smile Forever

( I do not own these pictures. If they're yours and you would like them removed, please let me know and I will do so. Thank you! )

I could watch you smile forever,

I could watch your precious laugh,

I could see your eyelids quiver

As you tilt your head back.

I know that you won't laugh forever,

And that every smile dies,

And so while we're still together

Let me take a picture of your smile.

She tells him jokes that aren't that funny

Desperate to see him laugh again;

Even though her jokes are corny,

He's more than happy to let her win.

I could watch you smile forever,

I could watch your precious laugh,

I could see your eyelids quiver

As you tilt your head back.

I know that you won't laugh forever,

And that every smile dies,

And so while we're still together

Let me take a picture of your smile.

He teases her, like boys will do,

As though he didn't like her at all;

He wants to see her cheeks turn red

Like the leaves do in the Fall.

 I could watch you smile forever,

I could watch your precious laugh,

I could see your eyelids quiver

As you tilt your head back.

I know that you won't laugh forever,

And that every smile dies,

And so while we're still together

Let me take a picture of your smile.

The baby cries like all babies,

But his mother doesn't mind;

It's worth it when he squeals for joy,

And she can say "He's mine."

I could watch you smile forever,

I could watch your precious laugh,

I could see your eyelids quiver

As you tilt your head back.

I know that you won't laugh forever,

And that every smile dies,

And so while we're still together

Let me take a picture of your smile.

Their little girl causes trouble

In the common two-year-old style,

But it's worth every broken vase,

When they get to see her smile.

 I could watch you smile forever,

I could watch your precious laugh,

I could see your eyelids quiver

As you tilt your head back.

I know that you won't laugh forever,

And that every smile dies,

And so while we're still together

Let me take a picture of your smile.
