Two songs I wish I wrote.

Smiling

ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh
I like to pretend you're watchin' me
could it be possibility
I wonder what you're thinking
ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh
Do you wonder if I have a heart
do you wonder if I play guitar
I do, but only one of the two
wooah oh..
You're beautiful, you are beautiful
you've got your nose in a book
and all I need is a look to know
you are beautiful, you are beautiful
you've got your nose in a book
and all I need is a look to know
to know you, you, you
From behind your coffee cup
onto the wooden seat that holds you up
you float, over to me
without leavin' your seat, or makin' a scene
I wonder if you live too far,
house, appartment, shopping cart
I hope you're warm when the night comes
oooh oooh ooh
oooh oooh woahh.
You're beautiful, you are beautiful
you've got your nose in a book
and all I need is a look to know
you are beautiful, you are beautiful
you've got your nose in a book
and all I need is a look to know
to know you, you, you

you leave me, yah you leave me
you leave me, yah you leave me
you leave me smilin' , smilin'
and I hope to see you again
I hope to see you smilin'
smilin', ooh smilin'
I hope to see you smilin'

Great Big City

Intruiging, intruiging, you are so intruiging
It's something I just can't deny
I'd spend the rest of the night by your side,
sippin my beans, and breaking your ice.

Well sweaters aside, you are something that I've missed
and wished on for years and a day
it's both an honor and priveledge to meet you
I hope you remember me.

when you're back into the great big city
with those French communities
bummin yourself downtown
pullin money up out of the ground
bummin around
makin us so damn proud.
mmhmm
so damn proud.

now who am i kidding i'm no prize for wedding
you would make me look good
but you seem like the type who would open doors for me
and wait up until I dozed away sleeping
it's so sad you're leaving
leaving

to the great big city
with those french communities
bummin yourself downtown
pullin money up and out of the ground
bummin around
making us so damn proud

Intruiging intruiging you are so intruiging
I know.
Intruiging intruiging I just cannot seem to let go
Intruiging intruiging you are so intruiging I know
Intruiging intruiging I just cannot seem to let go

when you're back into that great big city
with those french communities
bummin yourself downtown
pullin money up and out of the ground
bummin around
making us so damn proud
so damn proud
so damn proud
so damn proud
so damn proud.

Both songs are by Meaghan Blanchard, a friend of mine (and my cousin's ex) on PEI. She has an amazing folksy voice and writes her own fantastic lyrics and chords. :D I love the album.
