She has a smile that melts
An icy heart
And a heart that smiles
Something about her draws
Like magnet to steel
Like moth to a flame
Like a hook on a reel
Or a child to a game
Something about her draws
The pull of gravity
Please do not set me free
A smile that draws
A heart to thaw
Inner beauty
A gentle soul
A faithful heart
More than rote
Exceeding a start
When all that is visible fades
There is a truth that remains
And when the exterior fades
The central soul remains
