Smile
Smile when tears are falling from your eyes
Smile like windows of the shops at night
Here everything is as it seems
All the tables and the chairs seem real
Here paintings on the walls
Somehow make it all so strange
So, smile to brighten up the darkest day
Your smile like icing on a birthday cake
Lovers floating in a paradise
Blue lights flicker from a room at night
I'm happy just to be
Just like one of these who smile
How we sang
How we loved
How we were
And how we was
We're not afraid anymore
I'm scared of you
I'm scared of me
But scary things will set me free
I'm not afraid anymore
So, smile when nothing seems to go your way
Smiles to take away our thoughts and cares
Blue like blood returning to my heart
Fingers, hands, and every tiny part
Every kid in every school
Knows all you've got to do is smile
How we sang
How we loved
How we were
And how we was
We're not afraid anymore
I'm scared of you
Scared of me
But scary things will set me free
I'm not afraid anymore
So, smile when tears are falling from your eyes
Smile like windows of the shops at night
Here everything is as it seems
All the tables and the chairs seem real
Here paintings on the walls
Somehow make it all so strange
So, smile to brighten up the darkest day
Your smile like icing on a birthday cake
Lovers floating in a paradise
Blue lights flicker from a room at night
I'm happy just to be
Just like one of these who smile
How we sang
How we loved
How we were
And how we was
We're not afraid anymore
I'm scared of you
I'm scared of me
But scary things will set me free
I'm not afraid anymore
So, smile when nothing seems to go your way
Smiles to take away our thoughts and cares
Blue like blood returning to my heart
Fingers, hands, and every tiny part
Every kid in every school
Knows all you've got to do is smile
How we sang
How we loved
How we were
And how we was
We're not afraid anymore
I'm scared of you
Scared of me
But scary things will set me free
I'm not afraid anymore
So, smile when tears are falling from your eyes
