  • I'm just flesh and bone, heart and soul
    And I've earned a couple scars
    I've let once in a lifetime kind of things slide right out of my arms
    I've struck out, I've been knocked down more times than I can count
    But that don't matter now

    'Cause when you smile
    I see the sun sink down on a coast out in California
    And there's no doubt
    Because of you, I'm not the man I was before you
    I'm not saying that I'm perfect
    Oh 'cause girl you know I'm not
    But I'll love you with everything I've got
    Girl, I'll give you my best shot

    You saw a spark inside of me that no one else could find
    Your good morning eyes, they get me high
    Girl you're always on my mind

    'Cause when you smile
    I see the sun sink down on a coast out in California
    And there's no doubt
    Because of you, I'm not the man I was before you
    I'm not saying that I'm perfect
    Oh 'cause girl you know I'm not
    But I'll love you with everything I've got
    Girl I'll give you my best shot

    When I saw you for the first time
    I knew I'd found amazing grace
    It's like angels singing every time I hear your name
    When you smile I see the sun sink down on a coast out in California
    And there's no doubt
    Because of you, I'm not the man I was before you

    When you smile
    I see the sun sink down on a coast out in California
    And there's no doubt
    Because of you, I'm better than I was before you
    I'm not saying that I'm perfect
    Oh, God knows I'm not
    But I'll love you with everything I've got
    Girl, I'll give you my best shot

    I'm gonna give you, I'll give you my best shot
    I'm gonna give, I'm gonna give you, yeah

    Oh oh oh, oh oh oh yeah
    Oh oh oh yeah Writer/s: James Edward Allen, Joshua Mark London, JP Williams
