smilin’ in the sun

everybody sees you smiling’ in the sun

everybody knows you love those looks from everyone    

as pure as you can be, as squeaky clean as you can come 

the sunny sky is what your heart believes in

everybody knows, maybe more than you admit – 

you love the things you’re given, you take all you can get

oh, you’re wild and you’re wet, a little too forlorn to fall in love

falling in love (everybody sees you),  falling in love (smilin’ in the sun)

falling in love (everybody sees you), falling in love

in the gleam of the city lights, you walk the wire 

in the gleam of the pretty lights from which you hope to be admired

the heat in life is all that you require, lying in the sun makes you hotter

lying here in paradise, of that you’ll never tire 

you’ll lie ’til you can stand no more

what everybody sees is what everybody gets 

anyone who knows you knows you’re always at your best

but now about to seize whatever happens next 

that one mistake will soon be long forgotten

teenage love (everybody sees you), teenage love (smilin’ in the sun)

teenage life (everybody sees you), teenage love

people love the soft, seductive eyes, gentle as a lamb 

behind you is the self destructive life you once led

tomorrow you will walk upon your cool pacific sands 

don’t compromise your cool pacific stands

don’t compromise, apologize or alter your plans 

you only need a small amount of time

if ever you get weary, baby, come to me and cry 

together we’ll go dreaming in the moonlit summer sky

we’ll flap our tired wings until they wilt by our side 

don’t fret tonight, tomorrow we will fly

there will always be tomorrow, you need not feel sorrow
