Capture A Smile
In a frozen Kodak moment in time
You must seek to follow your heart & shine
Built on a promise of inner beauty
A picture is worth one thousand words
To the fine lens of a lonesome child
It's in an opened door and the call of the wild
Through the distant clouds it will appear
I shed a single tear to numb the inner pain
Not having you in my arms is driving me insane
Through a tourist out on vacation
A beautiful couple on there wedding day
Took a solemn vow to bow the knee to pray
Capture a smile from a service man
An altar boy lighting a candle
From a singer down at the lounge
It's in the inner beauty of a woman
Captivated
To capture a smile cause you know all the while
Happiness extends from a smile
A warm hospitality toward a stranger in need
