i smile
my heart
disappears
oh smile & move
your burning feet
so just smile a little bit more, a little bit more
hey we just smile a little bit more, a little bit more

our turn to see the winds change

in my heart i see the winter
making me do over but iiiii i don't mind
i just smile a little bit more a little bit more
