Lyrics
Just To See You Smile
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You always had an eye for things that glittered
But I was far from being made of gold
I don't know how but I scraped up the money
I just never could quite tell you no
Just like when you were leaving Amarillo
To take that new job in Tennessee
And I quit mine so we could be together
I can't forget the way you looked at me
Just to see you smile, I'd do anything
That you wanted me to
When all is said and done, I'd never count the cost
It's worth all that's lost
Ah, just to see you smile
When you said time was all you really needed
I walked away and let you have your space
Cause leaving didn't hurt me near as badly
As the tears I saw rolling down your face
And yesterday I knew just what you wanted
When you came walkin' up to me with him
So I told you I was happy for you
And give him the chance, I'd like him
Just to see you smile, I'd do anything
That you wanted me to
When all is said and done, I'd never count the cost
It's worth all that's lost
Ah, just to see you...
Just to see you smile, I'd do anything
That you wanted me to
When all is said and done, I'd never count the cost
It's worth all that's lost
Ah, just to see you smile
