I Will Smile When I Think of You
J.E. Sunde Lyrics

I will smile when I think of you
Even though we may no longer be together, I will always remember the good times we had and it will bring a smile to my face.

I'll dream where you dream
I will think of you even when we are apart and imagine what you might be doing or where you might be.

You know I live in the same city you live in
Even though we may not be together, we are still connected in some way simply by living in the same city.

Given all that you've been through and all that you've seen
I understand that you have faced difficult times and have experienced things that have shaped who you are.

When times are lean and you mean to make a living
When life gets tough and it's hard to make ends meet, I know you are determined to persevere.

Songs are widowed when they've lost the ones they're for
When the inspiration for a song is no longer present, it can feel like the song has lost its purpose and is without its intended audience.

Questions hang around like dogs
Unanswered questions can linger and become a persistent source of anxiety, much like a dog that follows you around and won't leave you alone.

Lives are riddled with these small and petty gods
We often worry about things that seem important in the moment, but really are not significant in the grand scheme of things.

That worry us to crowd around the door
Our concerns can become an obstacle that prevents us from moving forward or experiencing new things, like a crowd blocking the entrance to a room.

And you will rise with the morning and shake off the teeth
You have the strength to face each new day and overcome any challenges or obstacles that come your way.

Squeeze the rind, spit the pith, and drink the day in
Take advantage of every opportunity and experience life to the fullest, even if it means enduring the bitter parts along with the sweet.

Weighing all that it costs you to maintain belief in the face of the grief that finds its way in
Despite the hardships and sorrow that life can bring, you are willing to hold onto your faith and beliefs, even if it comes at a cost.

And I will smile when I think of you
I will always cherish the memories of our time together and be grateful for the impact you had on my life.

And I will smile when I think of you
No matter how much time passes, you will always hold a special place in my heart and bring a smile to my face.

And I will smile when I think of you
Your presence in my life has left an indelible mark and I will always reflect on our time together with fondness.
