SMILE JUST FOR AWHILE
Smile
Come on and give me a little smile
Be sure to know that it will brighten up my day
Even though this smile may last for awhile
Do you know that you can have a nice day, today?
You know that we can't change everything
What the use, you have no other but yourself to reclaim
You know it will lead us back to the same thing
Same old grime, some things stay the same.
Even though it may last for awhile
Be sure to brighten up your day
Smile
And have a nice day, today.
