Like a Beautiful Smile Songtext
von Sting

Shall I compare thee to a summer′s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May
And summer's lease hath all too short a date

Sometime too hot, the eye of heaven shines
And often is his gold complexion dimm′d
And every fair from fair sometime declines
By chance, or nature's changing course untrimm'd

(Smile) like a beautiful smile
That fills up the sky (sky)
And I think I know why
Such a beauty won′t die (beauty won′t die)
It's eternity′s smile (eternity's smile)
That we walk all this while

But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow′st
Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade
When in eternal lines to time thou grow′st

Oh-ooh-ooh


(Beautiful smile) like a beautiful smile
That fills up the sky (sky)
And I think I know why
Such a beauty won't die (beauty won't die)
It′s eternity′s smile (eternity's smile)
That we walk all this while

It′s like a beautiful dream (dream)
Thist is just what it seems
That we're just floating upstream (floating upstream)
On eternity′s beam

So long as men can breath, or eyes can see
So long lives this (so long lives this)
This gives life to thee

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May
And summer′s lease hath all too short a date

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd
And every fair from fair sometime declines
By chance, or nature's changing course untrimm′d

But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow′st
Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade
When in eternal lines to thime thou grow′st


So long as men can breath, or eyes can see
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee
