Lyrics
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.
A glance back at the time I spent with you
I know you feel the same way too.
A kiss to wipe away the tears
can't keep on pushin' back the years
we gave up this thing long ago
just like the stream forever flows.
This ain't devotion and it's not defeat
I'm trapped in a kitchen can't stand the heat
like tears falling from a wounded sky
let's leave it here it's time to say goodbye.
You're not the man who used to make me smile
oh no.
I guess I should be movin' on.
You're not the man who used to make me smile
oh no.
I guess I should be feelin' strong.
Would it make you happy if I said I cared for you
oh no.
Spread my warmth around you in the cold night air.
Walk with me up to the edge
looking over at our life ahead.
I may seem a fool to you
In everything I say or do
but I know this is our fate
I think we're past the sell-by date
the encores through, the show at an end
consign me to history but stay my friend.
Stay my friend
You're not the man who used to make me smile
oh no.
I guess I should be movin' on.
You're not the man who used to make me smile
oh no.
I guess I should be feelin' strong.
