And You Smiled
Captured by Love's Smile: Matt Monro's Melodic Revelation
Lyrics
And you smiled,
The speaker recalls a moment when someone smiled.
I thought that I had the world on the end of a string
The speaker felt on top of the world, full of confidence and happiness.
I thought that I was a millionaire
The speaker felt exceptionally wealthy or fortunate.
Free as the dawn and then came the morning
Initially carefree, but then reality struck in the morning.
I turned and I saw you there
The speaker noticed the presence of someone significant (the person who smiled).
And you smiled and you smiled
The person's smile is described with laughter in their eyes, suggesting genuine joy.
With laughter in your eyes
-And you smiled and you smiled
-And I was captured
The speaker felt captivated or entranced by the person's smile.
Don't you know?
An expression of the speaker's desire to stay in this moment.
I'd like to stay
The speaker wants to prolong the experience.
Now I've got something worth talking about
The speaker now has something meaningful to talk about (the shared moment).
And you smiled and you smiled
The person's smile continues to captivate the speaker.
And I was captured
-And you smiled and you smiled
The captivation intensifies.
I was a fool not to see before
Recognition of past foolishness for not realizing the importance of love.
My life was empty until your love showed me
The person's love filled a void in the speaker's life.
The things I've been looking for
The person provided the speaker with what they had been searching for.
And you smiled and you smiled
The person's smile continues to be significant.
With; laughter in your eyes the world seemed to fade away
The world seems to lose importance when the person smiles.
Girl I'm so crazy about you
The speaker expresses strong feelings and dependency on the person.
I know I can't live without you
-Once I would run when somebody said wouldn't I like to settle down?
The speaker reflects on past indifference to settling down, now appreciating it.
I didn't care now I'm up in the air with my head really in the clouds
-And you smiled and you smiled
The person's smile continues to have a magical effect.
With laughter in your eyes and the world seemed to fade away
-And you smiled and I was captured, don't you know
The speaker reiterates the captivating effect of the person's smile.
And you smiled and you smiled
The person's smile continues to make the world fade away.
With laughter in your eyes and the world seemed to fade away
-And you smiled and you smiled and I was captured
The speaker expresses being captured by the person's smile.
Don't you know?
-Don't you know?
The speaker expresses the desire to stay in this captivating moment.
I'd like to stay
