Lyrics An Unexpected Smile - Natalie Dessay

Candlelight and conversation, tinkling glasses
Scattered laughter, background music, Mozart
And an unexpected smile, like the sun on a late afternoon
The shy uninvited glance, the soft almost undetected sigh
And then a whispered, warm, hello

In an instant, the world slipped away
And though as I recall.
Our hands were barely touching,
Something magic happened
For it was just as if you held me in your arms
A place I knew
A place I thought I'd felt I'd been before

My unsuspecting heart in a moment was caught unaware
By a soft whispered, warm, hello
It's starnge the way a heart can fall into the arms of love
From a hoped for, wished for, longed for, prayed for
Unexpected smile
