LYRICS

Thought I'd seen ev'rything there was to see in this world.
Now I'm not so sure I've really seen anything at all.
I thought life could show me no surprises, and then you came and showed me I was wrong.
I have seen the bluest skies, rainbows that would make you cry.
I have seen miracles that moved my soul, days that changed my life.
I have seen the brightest stars shine like diamonds in the dark.
Seen all the wonders of the world, but I've never seen a smile as beautiful as yours.

Thought I'd been ev'rywhere. I'd climbed a mountain so high, sailed the sea, crossed the sky, and still I was nowhere at all.
Until that day you came to my senses, and your smile made sense out of it all.

I have seen the bluest skies, rainbows that would make you cry.
I have seen miracles that moved my soul, days that changed my life.
I have seen the brightest stars shine like diamonds in the dark.
Seen all the wonders of the world, but I've never seen a smile as beautiful as yours.

A smile so beautiful comes one time in a lifetime. A smile this beautiful I never dreamed I'd ever see.

I have seen the bluest skies, rainbows that would make you cry.
I have seen miracles that moved my soul, days that changed my life.
I have seen the brightest stars shine like diamonds in the dark.
Seen all the wonders of the world, but I've never seen a smile as beautiful as yours.
