This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and
drowned the whole world
And while she looks
so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles

How many days in a year?
She woke up with hope
but she only found tears
And I can be so insincere
Making the promises
never for real
As long as
she stands there waiting
Wearin' the holes
in the soles of her shoes
How many days disappear?
You look in the mirror,
so how do you choose?
Your clothes never wear
as well the next day
And your hair never falls
in quite the same way
You never seem to
run out of things to say
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and
drowned the whole world
And while she looks
so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles

How many lovers would stay?
Just to put up with this
sh' day after day
How did we wind up this way?
Watchin' our mouths
for the words that we say
As long as we stand here waitin'
Wearin' the clothes of the souls
that we choose
How do we get there today?
When we're walkin' too far
for the price of our shoes
Your clothes never wear
as well the next day
And your hair never falls
in quite the same way
You never seem to
run out of things to say
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and
drowned the whole world
And while she looks
so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles

And your clothes never wear
as well the next day
And your hair never falls
in quite the same way
You never seem to
run out of things to say
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and
drowned the whole world
And while she looks
so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
This is the story of a girl
Whose pretty face
she hid from the world
And while she looks
so sad and lonely there
I absolutely love her
This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and
drowned the whole world
And while she looks
so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles
When she smiles...[start]../song/8/8428.MID[stop]
