the sun let down its rays
so your hair could glow
the song that lies beneath your laugh
made the birds stop and listen
its your eyes I wanna see the sun rise in
its your ears I wanna sing my song in
the deal that we had cut
to be nothin more than friends
was blown straight to hell
with that look you just shot me
my smile stops a thousand dancin thoughts from comin up
my tongues tied in, friendship knots
I had plans but have since lost em
my sense of directions points to Boston
it all puts to Boston
and now you're mine, I can confide,
that my smile once stopped a thought
about the song that lies beneath your laugh
and how the birds stopped and listened
