I Smile

Lyrics

I dedicate this song to recession,  
Depression and unemployment  
This song's for you  
  
Today's a new day, but there is no sunshine  
Nothing but clouds, and it's dark in my heart  
And it feels like a cold night  
Today's a new day, where are my blue skies  
Where is the love and the joy that you promised me  
Tell me it's alright  
  
(I'll be honest with you)  
I almost gave up, but a power that I can't explain  
Fell from heaven like a shower  
  
(When I think how much better I'm gonna be when this is over)  
I smile, even though I hurt see I smile  
I know God is working so I smile  
Even though I've been here for a while  
I smile, smile  
It's so hard to look up when you been down  
Sure would hate to see you give up now  
You look so much better when you smile, so smile  
  
Today's a new day, but there is no sunshine  
Nothing but clouds and it's dark in my heart  
And it feels like a cold night  
Today's a new day, tell me where are my blue skies  
Where is the love and the joy that you promised me  
Tell me it's alright  
  
(The truth is)  
I almost gave up, but a power that I can't explain  
Fell from heaven like a shower now  
  
I smile, even though I hurt see I smile  
I know God is working so I smile  
Even though I've been here for a while  
I smile, smile  
It's so hard to look up when you been down  
Sure would hate to see you give up now  
You look so much better when you smile  
  
Smile for me  
Can you just smile for me  
Smile for me  
Can you just smile for me  
  
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you  
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you  
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you  
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you  
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you  
  
(And while your waiting)  
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you  
(And while your praying)  
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you  
(Look in the mirror)  
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you  
(Always remember)  
You look so much better when you smile, come on  
  
I almost gave up, but a power that I can't explain  
Fell from heaven like a shower now  
  
I smile, even though I hurt see I smile  
I know God is working so I smile  
Even though I've been here for a while  
I smile, smile  
It's so hard to look up when you been down  
Sure would hate to see you give up now  
You look so much better when you smile, so smile  
  
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you  
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you  
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you  
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you  
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you  
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you  
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you  
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you  
  
Smile  
  
See I just want don't you to be happy  
'Cause then you have to have something you haven't been  
I want you to have joy 'cause can't nobody  
Take that away from you  
I see you smile
