Lyrics
Face of an angel pretty eyes that shine
Lie awake at night wishing you were mine
Standing here holding biggest heartache in town whenever you come around
I get weak in the knees and I lose my breath
Oh I try to speak but the words won’t come
I’m so scared to death
When you smile that smile the world turns upside down
Whenever you come around
I feel so helpless
I feel just like a kid
What is it about you makes me keep my feelings hid
I wish I could tell you but the words can’t be found whenever you come around
I get weak in the knees and I lose my breath
Oh I try to speak but the words won’t come
I’m so scared to death
When you smile that smile the world turns upside down
Whenever you come around
I get weak in the knees and I lose my breath
Oh I try to speak but the words won’t come
I’m so scared to death
When you smile that smile the world turns upside down
Whenever you come around
When you smile that smile the world turns upside down
Whenever you come around
Mmm whenever you come around
