Smile

Smile
You don't have to spend your days in clouds
Hiding from the sun
Take a look around and see
It's not that easy for anyone
Smile
You don't have to put that kind of stuff
On a friend like me
Or anybody else you see
So come on and smile
Rain comes falling down on everyone
Teardrops running from the sky
Too many nights are spent unspoken
Oh, dry your eyes
Smile
Cos you don't have to spend your days in clouds
Hiding from the sun
Take a look around and see
It's not that easy
Take a look around and smile
