lyrics

Smile

I don’t mean to add to your confusion or weigh you down with sympathy
But there’s darkness in those eyes of yours I’m trying not to let it swallow me

Everybody has the answer and a hook attached to a string
I’m sure that I am no different I’m only asking for you one thing

Because your smile, your smile has been missing this whole damn day
And your smile could move a mountain out of the way

Gonna do my best to make you shine - Pour another glass of that old red wine
Gonna shoot for laugh but I will take a grin - And if I can’t make you smile
I hope that nobody can

Please don’t shut down on me this evening I’m wrapped so tightly in your spell
If I can’t find that hidden smile mine might disappear as well.

Because your smile, your smile has been missing this whole god-damned day
And your smile could move a mountain Out of the way

Gonna do my best to make you shine - Pour another glass of that old red wine
Gonna shoot for laugh but I will take a grin - And if I can’t make you smile
I hope that nobody can
