You can't know how good the vibe is unless you hear it. Im all about the music. Constructive criticism is welcomed. Im always down for making the sound better.

Started out playing rhythm guitar in New York for the reggae group Lion Force in the early 80s. Toured the US extensively for 7 years doing gigs in various cities and colleges.The band lasted until the beginning of the 90s. After the break up I turned to production which I continue to do now on a daily basis.

Story behind the song

Relating the story of what happens when he or she smiles in a very convincing romantic manner

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
i was lost in shadows
but your love brought me home
like a lighthouse
guiding me through waves unknown
every whispered word
every gentle touch
reminds me i've been
waiting for you so much

[Chorus]
when you smile, the world feels right
your delicate touch turns darkness into light
no distance or time can control
the way i love you, heart and soul
when you smile, the world feels right
your delicate touch turns darkness into light
no distance or time can control
the way i love you, heart and soul

[Verse 2]
i've seen the sun rise
over distant seas
but nothing shines brighter
than your love for me
the years i lost
i can't get back
but your gentle love
keeps me on track

[Chorus]
when you smile, the world feels right 
your delicate touch turns darkness into light 
no distance or time can control 
the way i love you, heart and soul
when you smile, the world feels right 
your delicate touch turns darkness into light 
no distance or time can control 
the way i love you, heart and soul 

[Verse 3]
all the broken roads
that i walked before
led me straight 
to your open door
there's no turning back 
no drifting apart 
you're the rhythm 
beating in my heart 

[Chorus]
when you smile, the world feels right
your delicate touch turns darkness into light
no distance or time can control 
the way i love you, heart and soul 
when you smile, the world feels right 
your delicate touch turns darkness into light 
no distance or time can control 
the way i love you, heart and soul 

[Bridge]
i can't rewrite the pages we turned 
i can't undo the lessons we learned 
all my life i've been searching for this 
forever starts with just one more kiss 

[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
when you smile, the world feels right 
your delicate touch turns darkness into light 
no distance or time can control 
the way i love you, heart and soul 
when you smile, the world feels right 
your delicate touch turns darkness into light 
no distance or time can control 
the way i love you, heart and soul
