I stare at you
From across the room
I see the sparkle in your eyes

I smile at you
You turn your head
You stare into my eyes

And I see you smile

Its in the way I look at you
Its in the way I smile
Its in the way I talk to you
Its in the way I try
I try to be next to you
Try to be close to you
Try to be with you

Its the simplest truth you ever heard
I love you

I hold your hand
Walking down the street
I feel the sparks
I feel the heat

Its like a fire in my soul
I could dance all night
I could smile

I could do this forever

Its in the way I look at you
Its in the way I smile
Its in the way I talk to you
Its in the way I try
I try to be next to you
Try to be close to you
Try to be with you

Its the simplest truth you ever heard
I love you

And late at night
You hold me close
You whisper truths
Into my ear

We move to each others rythms
We are each others beats
And in the dark

I see you smile

Its in the way I look at you
Its in the way I smile
Its in the way I talk to you
Its in the way I try
Try to be next to you
Try to be close to you
Try to be with you

Its the simplest truth you ever heard
I love you

And no matter what life throw at us
Your still gonna be my number one
No one could ever replace
The butterflies

Or the way you smile
