Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You walked in carrying the whole day
Like the world had leaned too hard,
Trying to hide the disappointment
Sitting heavy on your heart.
You said nothing was the matter,
But your eyes had told me first,
So I pulled you close and held you
Till the silence lost its hurt.

I don’t need you at your strongest,
I don’t need a perfect man.
Let me love you through the moments
That don’t happen like you planned.
Lay your worries on my shoulder,
Let me take them for a while.
There is nothing I love better
Than the way you start to smile.

[Chorus]
When you smile at me,
Everything gets lighter.
The room feels warmer,
And my whole heart opens wider.
When you smile at me,
I remember why I stay.
One look from you can turn
The hardest night into a better day.
Baby, keep that sweet expression,
Let me see it for a while.
Nothing in this world can move me
Like the way you make me smile.

[Verse 2]
I remember when you found me
Trying not to need a soul,
I had learned to call it freedom
When I really felt alone.
You never tried to rush me,
Never forced my heart to speak.
You just loved me with a patience
That made tenderness feel safe to me.

Now I know what home can feel like
When it’s living in a man,
Not a house or perfect picture,
Just a heart that understands.
Even when we disagree,
You still reach across the miles.
And before I know what happened,
There I am returning your smile.

[Chorus]
When you smile at me,
Every doubt grows smaller.
You make me feel protected
Without ever building walls around me.
When you smile at me,
I can breathe and just believe
That love can still be gentle,
And giving doesn’t mean I have to leave.
Baby, keep that sweet expression,
Let it rest there for a while.
Nothing in this world can heal me
Like the way you make me smile.

[Bridge]
So when life has disappointed you
And your confidence is low,
Come and stand here right beside me,
Let your guarded feelings go.
I will remind you who you are
When you forget it for a while.
And I’ll keep loving you completely
Till I bring back that smile.

[Final Chorus]
When you smile at me,
My whole world feels sweeter.
Every day beside you
Makes my love grow deeper.
When you smile at me,
I know we’ll be all right.
Your joy becomes my morning,
And your arms become my night.
Baby, keep that sweet expression,
Don’t you hide it for a while.
Nothing in this life is richer
Than the love behind your smile.

[Outro]
Come closer, let me see you,
Let the heavy feeling leave.
You don’t have to say a word now;
Just put your trust in me.
I’ll keep holding on beside you
Through every changing mile.
And I’ll love you even deeper
Every time you smile.
