Smile

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You and I
We’ve had our ups and downs and want not
Never give in
You and I
Spoken truth and lies and more
We’re hanging on
It’s safe to say we’re stronger
Together than standing alone
And from now on

Smile
Isn’t this an act like a child
Throwing things on each time
I can deal with this all if you
Smile
You got to smile
I just want you to know
Tears will cushion the blow
You are in all

You and I
When things kicked up, we move on
We let it go, let it fly
Keep it alive
It’s safe to say we’re happy
No one’s had it, it would be fine
All of the time

Smile
Isn’t this an act like a child
Throwing things on each time
I can deal with this all if you
Smile
You got to smile
I just want you to know
Tears will cushion the blow
You are in all

I’m just like the sun that shine
Sometimes I burn and make you cry
Don’t cry
‘Cause every time you throw a smile
Can you picture me and you
Tell, years from now a sunday afternoon
So good, what I feel for you
So won’t you

Smile
Isn’t this an act like a child
Throwing things on each time
I can deal with this all if you
Smile
You got to smile
I just want you to know
Tears will cushion the blow
You are in all

Smile
Isn’t this an act like a child
Throwing things on each time
I can deal with this all if you
Smile
You got to smile
I just want you to know
Tears will cushion the blow




You are in all
Smile
