when she smiles

i went and saw live music tonight. everyone i saw was pretty good, including a friend of mine, who surprised me with just how good he was on guitar. the whole time i watched, mostly impressed, and wished i could do what they do.

i tried learning to play guitar--failed. i bought a harmonica when on vacation in oregon--quit in about 5 minutes. i used to play piano, but quit because i felt really gay. musically, im about as talented as a parapoligic in a pogo stick contest.

still, i cant stop at dreaming. im not afraid to say i rock out in the car when im alone. and sometimes i fool myself into believing i can actually sing. ill sing along with blink, green day, and some country stuff. for the most part, i feel like i dont do too bad of a job. then i try and sing when the music isnt playing, and realize exactly how talented i am. ha.

i guess the only way to find out is to sing in front of other people. i had someone tell me once that i had a good voice. but i think she's just being nice. i kinda, half-way, maybe might want to sing in front of a group of people. then again probably not.

i did write a song though. a friend of mine wanted a song written about her, so i obliged. the song is about her, but it's also about every guy's dream girl. okay, maybe not that lofty, but you'll get the point (at least i hope).

When she smiles
the world lights up,
when she smiles,
pulls me in, makes me love
when she smiles...
have her i must

Gotta know it all means something
want to know what it all means
see her every day
confused by her ways
cant figure out, i want to know
even when she is pissed i can't let go

but when she smiles
the world lights up
when she smiles
pulls me in, makes me love
when she smiles...
have her i must

different from me, different from you,
don't really know what she's been through
the way she talks, the way she walks
makes me watch...
annoying as hell,
cuz she's so damn cool, i totally fell

and when she smiles
the world lights up
when she smiles,
pulls me in, makes me love
when she smiles...
have her i must

when she smiles,
the world melts away
when she smiles,
beautiful in every way
when she smiles,
it's a brand new day
when she smiles,
stupid love songs start to play

when she smiles,
so can i...
when she smiles...
so can i...
when she smiles...

so you probably know what its called. it probably sucks. but hey, i never claimed to be a song writer.
