| This is the story of a girl
|
| Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
|
| And while she looks so sad in photographs
|
| I absolutely love her
|
| When she smiles
|
| How many days in a year
|
| She woke up with hope but she only found tears
|
| I can be so insincere,
|
| Making the promises never for real
|
| As long as she stands there waiting
|
| Wearing the holes in the soles of her shoes
|
| How many days disappear?
|
| When you look in the mirror so how do you choose?
|
| Your clothes never wear as well the next day
|
| Your hair never falls in quite the same way
|
| You never seem to run out of things to say
|
| This is the story of a girl
|
| Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
|
| And while she looks so sad in photographs
|
| I absolutely love her
|
| When she smiles
|
| How many lovers would stay?
|
| Just to put up with this day and all day?
|
| How did we wind up this way?
|
| Watching our mouths for the words that we say
|
| As long as we stand here waiting
|
| Wearing the clothes on the soles of our shoes
|
| How do we get there today?
|
| When we’re walking too far for the price of her shoes
|
| Your clothes never wear as well the next day
|
| Your hair never falls in quite the same way
|
| But you never seem to run out of things to say
|
| This is the story of a girl
|
| Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
|
| And while she looks so sad and lonely there
|
| I absolutely love her
|
| When she smiles
|
| Well your clothes never wear as well the next day
|
| And your hair never falls in quite the same way
|
| And you never seem to run out of things to say
|
| This is the story of a girl
|
| Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
|
| And while she looks so sad in photographs
|
| I absolutely love her
|
| This is the story of a girl
|
| Her pretty face she hid from the world
|
| And while she looks so sad and lonely there
|
| I absolutely love her
|
| This is the story of a girl
|
| Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
|
| And while she looks so sad in photographs
|
| I absolutely love her
|
| When she smiles
|
| When she smiles! |
