The face of an angel, pretty eyes that shine
I lie awake at night wishing you were mine
I'm standing here holding the biggest heartache in town
Whenever you come around

I get weak in the knees and I lose my breath
And I try to speak but the words won't come, I'm so scared to death
And when you smile that smile, the world turns upside down
Whenever you come around

I feel so helpless, I feel just like a kid
What is it about you that makes me keep my feelings hid
I wish I could tell you, but the words cannot be found
Whenever you come around

I get weak in the knees and I lose my breath
I try to speak but the words won't come, I'm so scared to death
And when you smile that smile, the world turns upside down
Whenever you come around

I get weak in the knees and I lose my breath
And I try to speak but the words won't come, I'm so scared to death
And when you smile that smile, the world turns upside down
Whenever you come around

When you smile that smile
The world turns upside down
Whenever you come around
Whenever you come around

Willie Nelson

Willie Hugh Nelson (pronounced /wɪli nɛlsən /; born April 30, 1933) is an American country music singer-songwriter, as well as an author, poet, actor, and activist. The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed at the end of the 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana. more »
