I See Your Smile

I get a little tongue twisted
Every time I talk to you
When I see you
And I’m so glad that you just missed it
The way I stared to memorize your face
To kiss you in my mind
Love you all the time
'Cause when I close my eyes
I still can see your smile
It’s bright enough to light my life
Out of my darkest hour
Please believe it’s true
When I tell you I-
I had to start taking chances
Searching for the truth in love
That’s in my heart
Tell me…
If I made the wrong advances
If I made you feel ashamed
'Cause I know I have to do this
Would you hold my hand right through it?
'Cause when I close my eyes
I still see your smile
It’s bright enough to light my life
Out of my darkest hour
Please believe it’s true
When I tell you I love you
Oh!
I have to let you know just what could happen
Yes, I have to let you know the truth
I know I’ve got to do this
Would you hold my hand right through it?
Would you?
'Cause when I close my eyes
I still can see your smile
It’s bright enough to light my life
Out of my darkest hour
'Cause when I close my eyes
I still see your smile
It’s bright enough to light my life
Out of my darkest hour
I know now this is true
When I tell you I
Love you
(Audience applause.)
I am talking to Gloria Maria! You think I don’t see what’s going on?
The way you ignore him when I’m in the room? Please. You’re nineteen,
you know nineteen things. I’m forty-eight, so I know forty-eight things.
Why does she hate him so much?
Because he didn’t make her the lead singer of his band?
I don’t understand.
No, you don’t. She’s just… When your mother was young, 20th Century Fox asked
her to sign a contract. They wanted to fly her from Cuba all the way to
Hollywood to be the Spanish voice of Shirley Temple!
What happened?
Your grandfather forbade it. «The family comes first,» he yelled,
and that was the end of that. And then your mother watched her dream fly away
without her.
Was she good?
Good?
