When She Smiles Lyrics - Christopher Cross

Well they met in line at the checkout stand 

Both unaware of what the gods had planned 

She was lost in her Cosmo readin' about the stars 

He was readin' about two-headed babies from Mars 

When she reached for a Snickers she dropped her keys 

And so began one of life's mysteries 

He was a little old-fashioned and a little oversexed 

He picked them up never guessing what would happen next 

Then she smiled and said I like your tie 

Yeah she smiled and told him that little white lie 

And his soul lit up like the fourth of July 

When she smiled

They made it to Starbuck's just before it closed 

He pointed to the jar and said you want one of those 

So over biscotti and double decafs 

They shared their stories and they had some laughs 

He got up his courage and asked her back to his place 

Then he held his breath as he studied her face 

She just sat and she stared and she said nothing at all 

He knew he blew it and he waited for the ax to fall 

Then she smiled and he knew he hadn't been wrong 

Yeah she smiled and said what took you so long 

And the world felt good like a rock and roll song 

When she smiled 

When she smiles I forget my lines 

When she smiles man I'm on cloud nine 

When she smiles oh it's time out of mind 

When she smiles 

Photos 

Then she smiled and said where you been all my life 

And she smiled when he asked her to be his wife 

And the future had never looked so bright 

When she smiled 

I'm just diggin' her diggin' me diggin' her 

When she smiles I forget my lines 

When she smiles man I'm on cloud nine 

When she smiles oh it's time out of mind 

When she smiles 

When she smiles I come all undone 

When she smiles I'm the only one 

When she smiles I'm a smoking gun 

When she smiles
