When You Smile
Capturing Love's Melody: When You Smile by Roberta Flack
Lyrics
When you smile I can see
Expressing joy and connection when the person smiles.
You were born, born for me
Suggesting a sense of destiny or a special connection, feeling meant for each other.
And for me you'll be due our try
Committing to a relationship with the implication of facing challenges together.
Oh baby let me hold you
Expressing a desire to embrace and comfort the person when they need it.
You make me wanna hold you
Feeling a strong emotional desire to hold the person when they smile.
When you (smile)x7
Emphasizing the impact of the person's smile, repeated for emphasis.
When you smile I can see
Reiteration of the positive impact of the person's smile, seeing hope.
There is hope, hope for me
Expressing optimism and anticipation for a positive future with the person.
And for you if you know what I mean
Hinting at mutual understanding and shared feelings.
I'm gonna sing it to you
Committing to express feelings through song, a personal and intimate gesture.
I'm gonna rock it to you
Expressing a commitment to passionately convey emotions through music.
Every (time)x7
Highlighting the significance of every moment when the person smiles, repeated for emphasis.
When you smile I can see
Reiterating the connection and love observed in the person's smile.
Me and you, you and me
Emphasizing the unity and connection between the speaker and the person.
There is love in your eyes when you smile
Noticing love in the person's eyes when they smile.
Oh baby let me love you
Reiterating the desire to express love and affection.
You gotta let me love you
Requesting permission to love and be loved in return.
When you (smile)x7
Underlining the impact of the person's smile, repeated for emphasis.
La la la, larala, la la la
Introducing a musical interlude with nonsensical vocalizations.
When you smile I can see
Repeating the theme of destiny and a special connection through the person's smile.
You were born, born for me
Reiterating a sense of being destined to be together.
And for me you'll be due our try
Committing to facing challenges together in the relationship.
Oh baby let me hold you
Expressing a desire to hold and comfort the person.
You make me wanna hold you
Feeling a strong emotional desire to hold the person when they smile.
When you (smile)x7
Emphasizing the impact of the person's smile, repeated for emphasis.
La la la, larala, la la la
Concluding with a musical interlude and nonsensical vocalizations.
