No Wicked Grin
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.
I can see by your tears
With all of the years
You still hear the call of the blue
And I can see by your face
It's a lonely old place
You've gone and gotten into
I've got this smile
I've had for a while
It ain’t exactly brand new
It's no wicked grin
It's good and worn in
And I'd like to give it to you
Through trouble and pain
Through wind and through rain
I think it will fit you just right
When you gave it to me
I couldn't be free
Now I'm standing right here in your light
And when your life's upside down
It might look like a frown
Depends on how you wanna see
So here's lookin’ at you
And when I'm upside down too
It looks like you're smilin' to me
I can see by your tears
With all of the years
You still hear the call of the blue
And I can see by your face
It's a lonely old place
You've gone and gotten into
I've got this smile
I've had for a while
It ain’t exactly brand new
It's no wicked grin
It's good and worn in
And I'd like to give it to you
