Beautiful Smile

She loved to dance in the rain
When the clouds would storm she'd light up like a flame
She always made me sing Adele
And when I'd belt thats when her eyes would start to well
When she stood up on the stage
The whole world would fade away
Spoke with a passion so unshakeable
I thought I was incapable
But she made me take a chance
Practice each line, lyric, and dance
When I froze outside the casting door
She turned and said to me
I love that you were born with such a beautiful smile
She wrapped her arms around my head
She kissed me twice and then she said
You make me prouder than I ever could be
But if things don't go perfectly
Promise you'll still smile
November came, and she got sick
She kept her head up, but the fever came on quick
Still she made me sing "Love in the Dark"
I never got to tell her that I got the part
If she could see me now she'd say
Somewhere along the path, I've lost my way
If you start to race then you've gone wrong
Just stick to love because life is never long
I hope she hears me when I say
I'm lucky she was born with such a beautiful smile
She taught me everything I know
She was too young to have to go
Now I'm left with all she's given to me
So I won't waste another dream
I'll try
I'll try
To smile
