Lyrics
When Eva Smiles
Put all your notebooks away
Your pencils your pastels and paints
They're of no use anyway
Put down your Shelly and Keats
Your sonnets and odes can't compete
The poets just stare at their feet
When Eva smiles ...When Eva smiles
The sculptor gives up and goes home
He's never felt quite this alone
With his chisels and blocks of dead stone
And the mathematician's so cross
He sulks in a great cloud of chalk
His theories are nothing but talk
When Eva smiles ...When Eva smiles
You can search your poor heart for something to say
You wrestle with words
But they never obey
You won't get it right
When Eva smiles there's no way to contain
The things that you feel
And she feels the same
There's just too much light
Put down your crosses and saints
Your gurus and priest can't relate
To things that aren't easily explained
And give up your questions and quests
Your striving, your goals and your tests
Just close your eyes and say yes
When Eva smiles ...When Eva smiles
