Smile

[thetworegs]

Another influenced from my trip to California. 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

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

Damn! I should go to California and smoke what you smoked.

My daughter is Malagasy, and she's not yet been to the USA. She's been colonized by YouTube, and is fascinated by California – Los Angeles in particular. She asks, "When we visit the USA, will we go to L.A.?"

"No!" I say. "L.A. sucks!"

The effect California has had on you is making me reconsider.

Not only is this beautiful, simple, and simply beautiful – it's believable. It made me think of visiting California, it made me happy for you that you experienced the beauty and friendship.
