Smile

Always smiling, You'd take the time to ask how my week was But I know how much your life is falling to pieces These little things, Wisdom from the years of experience Encouraging Though your world is crashing around you And yet you smile I know you've every reason to hate the world that takes away And yet you smile You've every excuse to curse the ground beneath your feet Ooh and the world around you falls apart You smile Only seventeen, you were never meant to be at his funeral Tragedy, buried under comforting words You kept it strong, Even through the loss of a grandson Showed me how to pull through when everything falls apart The doctor says, It only goes downhill from here, She doesn't know she lives but she knows that you'll be there Lonely nights spent with her right there beside you, Keeping on loving a woman who doesn't remember your name Oh your name And yet you smile, I know you've every reason to hate the world that takes away And yet you smile, You've every excuse to curse the ground beneath your feet Ooh, when the world around you falls apart Ooh, when everything around you is crashing down And yet you smile, I know you've every reason to hate the world that takes away And yet you smile, You've every excuse to curse the ground beneath your feet Ooh when the world is falling down around you, you smile
