“I
don’t know how to smile”—
“Can
you tell me how to smile?”—
He
would hide his face-
Even
when he’s happy,
He’d
never leave a trace.
He’ll
think that-
“No,
that’s not how it’s done,
I’ll
only be a disgrace.”
And
so he’ll hide himself away.
“Can
you please look up and smile;
Don’t
worry, the camera won’t bite!
Alright!
One, two, thre- oh no, dear, please,
Show
your teeth so we all can see
That
handsome face of yours will sparkle like the sea
If
you let your heart show what it really feels.”
But
he glanced at the floor
And
keep the mask on
This
is how it’s done—
Just
as stony as before.
There’s
a girl who wants to know his heart,
So
she follows him around the clock,
It
bewildered her of how different he turned out—
If
she was following the right person from the start.
This
boy laughs and smiles to his heart content,
It’s
like he really knows what life and love meant,
At
the sight of his golden smile—
That
girl melt and swept off her feet,
Cuz she have never seen that side of
him—
The
most genuine and beautiful smile that shines like a sunbeam.
