I knew the first moment that our eyes met
this was nothing like I'd felt before
You touched my heart, reached deep inside me
spoke to my soul; I knew that I needed more
you opened the door....

CHORUS:
I've gotta smile
I've gotta pull you close
I've gotta feel your heart beat next to mine
I've gotta smile
I want to look in your eyes
I've gotta feel your warm skin touching mine
and I've gotta smile......

When I see your car driving up to my place;
hear your laughter, see the smile on your face
I feel my heart pounding deep in my chest
And I know I've got no other choice
no baby...

CHORUS:
I've gotta smile
I've gotta pull you close
I've gotta feel your heart beat next to mine
I've gotta smile
I want to look in your eyes
I've gotta feel your warm skin touching mine
and I've gotta smile......

I always swore, I'd never let anyone near
no one could get close to me
I've been hurt before, my eyes filled with tears
but baby, with you I can see
I can see....

CHORUS:
I've gotta smile
I've gotta pull you close
I've gotta feel your heart beat next to mine
I've gotta smile
I want to look in your eyes
I've gotta feel your warm skin touching mine
and I've gotta smile......

FADE:

You make me smile,
make my heart come alive
Your touch brings me pleasure
I know our love will survive...
