Smile

[thetworegs]

Another about my trip to the sunshine state. I think my cheeks ached when I got on the plane to come home from California I had smiled so much. It was the blue sky with the sun what else can you do but smile.
The fucker has been raining in Yorkshire for the last six months and its forecast to rain all next week too I've almost lost my smile.....almost

Watching from the shoreline as the boats go by
The bridge looks on and silently complies
I Walk up to Presidio with the California sun
With a  cool breeze blowing on me from the bay
and I smile 
Its a beautifiul day
Ooh how I smile

I meet a friend at ten down by the bar by the ferry
We have a drink or two or maybe it was three
We're as high as kites and feel free
We walk along the shoreline up to the wharf
And we smile
how we smile

The Calfornia scents in the air
The smell of grass is everywhere
Theres a sense of freedom I haven't felt since my younger years
I turn to face the sun and I smile
The blue sky seems to complete me
and I laugh and I smile
Ooh how I smile

Break

We run down Balboa across inner sunset down to the park
Lay on the grass watch the seagulls fly high up above us
And chat out our dreams
chat away till the sunsets on the scene
We lay there for an hour almost sleeping
But We smile
Oh how we smile
Yeah we smile
How we smile

Your acoustic guitar and vocal sounds full and alive! Some cool words about the S.F. sites, the sunshine and blue sky. I was following your lyrics and recognized the places you mentioned. It was as if I was walking along with you. Having lived in the Northern San Juaquin Valley of Calif. my entire life, I'm glad you found a week of sunshine and it made you smile, Trevor. It's now raining outside...

Awesome song.  It is really a great song in both performance (pro guitar and vocal) and composition.  I think the joy of your experience shows through in the song.  It is like inspiration flowing out of you. Glad you enjoyed Cali - I live in the "south part" (SoCal).  Sounds like you enjoyed CA and you didn't even have to pay the sunshine (income) tax, lucky you.  I think I saw a video on your youtube of a concert you attended while on your trip - cool!
 
Damn this song is good!  Pro-level good!  I will have to download and listen to again.
