Like A Beautiful Smile - 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 summmer’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;

Like a beautiful smile

That fills I know why

Such a beauty won’t die

It’s eternity’s mile

That we walk all this while

But thy eternal summer shall not fade,

Nor lose possesion 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;

Like a beautiful smile

That fills I know why

Such a beauty won’t die

It’s eternity’s mile

That we walk all this while

Like a beautiful dream

That is just what it seems

We’re just floating upstream

On eternity’s beam

So long as men can breath, or eyes can see,

So long lives this, and this gives life to thee
