She Smiles Like A River
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.
Well she smiles just like a river
Rolling softly to the sea
When she blows away my problems
She helps to take, take a little weight off me
When she's happy, I'm in heaven
If she's down, she'll never say
'Cause she knows I'm treading water
Guess she feels I'm better off that way
But when sadness overcomes me; I'm blinded by the night
She takes my hand and leads me to the light
And she wisphers in the morning; she knows the words to say
To keep me looking forward to the new day
So I try just to be her lover
And I hope she understands
When I hurt her or make her crazy
That I'm just an ordinary man
Yeah she smiles just like a river
Flowing softly to the sea
When she blows away my problems
She helps to take a little weight off me
