I love the way those beautiful eyes glisten in the sun,
The way you tilt your head when you listen to someone.
The way you told me all the things that trouble you.
How you consoled me when I felt so sad and blue.

But I'd keep walking for a thousand miles
just to see you smile.

I love the way you fiddle with just one strand of your hair
The way you look so good in everything you wear.
The way you sit and bring your knees up to your chest.
The way you clutch your sheets when you lie down to rest.

But I'd brave the ocean, swim a thousand miles
just to see you smile.

I love the way you go so far to be true to your friends,
and when we're down you always cheer us up again.
The way you laugh at all my silly little jokes.
The way you try so hard to look after your folks.

But I'd take a plane and fly ten thousand miles
just to see you smile.

I love the way you try to look so cute when you want more.
The way you greet me when I come to your front door.
The way you thank me when I buy you little things.
The way you always look at people when you sing.

When I'm alone, I often close my eyes a while
just to see your smile.

I love way I feel inside each time I see your face.
The way I'm made to feel so welcome at your place.
The way you're happy with the simple things in life,
and how when we differ you will find the compromise.

But I'd wait in solitude for my whole life
just to see you smile.

Because it always warms my heart to see you happy.
I think I loved you from the start when you smiled at me for the first time.

Your effortless perfection
fills my veins like an injection
of the cure to all my woes.
So I just wanted you to know

that I'd keep walking for a thousand miles
just to see you smile...

Just to see you smile.
