What makes you smile?

Don’t forget the words that made you smile a long time ago. Don’t forget the words that made your heart skip a beat, the words that gave you goose bumps in a good way. The words that made you smile a bit more, feel a bit better. And tell everyone about those words on World Poetry Day.

In december 1999, at The Party, Replay released the demo Fall Equals Winter. The tune on this demo, I realize, is something that always makes me smile more and feel a bit better. With lyrics that, for some reason, gives me goose bumps in a good way.

If I could gather all the stars and hold them in my hand,
the colors I would then possess would not be half as grand
as those which I have seen when I look deep into your eyes,
or come across when I have kissed your lips, I realize.

If I could ponder all the truths men sought since time began,
they would not teach me more than if I were to touch your hand
For truth to no one you have touched appear as simple lies
And nothing could be truer than your touch, I realize.

If I were given lasting life as only God could do,
I’d shun it all and turn away, if I could live with you.
For even God has never known the immesurable size
Of the love that’s within your heart, I realize.
