Her Smile

Verse

The place the time forgotten

But I still see her smile.

Seen bridges burned and falling.

We’ve traveled many miles.

Chorus

Slowly we drifted

Like two ships at sea.

Taken by the tides

Her smile stayed with me.

Verse

She was like the sun rising.

Surprises every day.

Radiant and beautiful.

Now she’s a world away.

Chorus

Slowly we drifted

Like two ships at sea.

Taken by the tides

Her smile stayed with me.

Verse

Whenever I feel lonely.

Her smile comes to mind.

She may be faraway

But her smiles still mine.

Chorus

Slowly we drifted

Like two ships at sea.

Taken by the tides.

Her smile stayed with me.

Verse

The place the time forgotten

but one thing I still see.

Each morning when the sun smiles.

Her light shines down on me.

Tag

Taken by the tides of time

Her smile has stayed with me.

Bridge

It wasn't quite perfect

neither was she.

 she was a work of art

painted for me.

Nice one, Carroll. How about you tell us something about her smile to bring her alive, maybe with an endearing imperfection - just a little crooked - or something endearing, like how she crinkled her nose when she smiled? Make her real.

Also, I would change "But I still see her smile." to "But still I see her smile." It sings better with the stress on "still." It also feels more poetic to me. You could do the same with "but one thing I still see." (but one thing still I see).

I may or may not be an enigma
