Smile Like That - Esperanza Spalding

Smile Like That

Smile…

Scatting

It’s been awhile since I’ve seen that smile

I can’t help but wonder

And it’s nothing but natural to wonder

If you’ve ever loved her

I’ll be sure when I see

That I can make you smile like that

Smile like that

Is there something I can’t help but notice

The way your eyes focus

On each word and gesture

She does that makes you smile like that

Smile like that now

I like that your heart is open

And you love freely and all

But not like that

I want us to be two lovely people

And we feel like three…

Now I like that your heart is open

And you love freely and all

But not like that

I want us to be two lovely people

Just two

Just me just you

I don’t really mind if you smile like that

If it’s something you can’t help don’t worry

But don’t pretend you don’t see

And feel what’s obvious to me

Every time you smile that

When you smile like that

They’ve got something we don’t have

It’s natural

Let’s just leave it at that so

To let you be

And maybe find someone that makes me smile like that

I wanna smile like that and

I still like that your heart is open and you love freely

And all

So stay like that

I’m sure that you’ll be two lovely people

Gonna set you free
