I Love Your Smile
Capturing Joy: Unveiling the Radiance in 'I Love Your Smile' by Bobby Lyle
Lyrics
Sitting in my class, just drifting away
Sitting in my class, feeling detached and drifting away.
Staring into the windows of the world
Lost in contemplation, observing the world outside.
I can't hear the teacher, his books don't call me at all
Unable to focus on the teacher or the lesson; not interested in academic study.
I don't see the bad boys tryin' to catch some play...
Unaware of or ignoring the advances of mischievous boys trying to flirt or gain attention.
'cause I love your smile
Expressing affection for the smile of the person being addressed.
I love your smile

And I wanna be free
