Smile for me, just one more time

Before I forget a word to rhyme

with smile

Let the air around you be

Don't touch this silence and you'll see

the world slow down in silence

for a while.

Just feel the noise, it feels so near

Sow the frown and plant a tear

And in the spring, when summer comes

You realize forgetting is what numbs

feelings that have caused you this denial



Say this smile is not yours to give,

Don't tell me that's the way you live.

So you touch the silence with your hand

you hold your world like a grain of sand

Smile, child, and see time stand still

Smile, child, It's such a thrill

Smile



Time's not on your side

It never was, the people lied.

And in the morning, when I wake,

I pray a prayer for prayings sake

Don't tell me that to pray is wrong

I sing my life and it's not your song

Don't tell me that to feel is old

I know you feel that I'm too bold

In the night, with eyes so starry

Time had his fun and is not sorry

So why not have your fun with me now too?



Say this smile is not yours to give,

Say it's not your life to live.

So you touch the silence with your hand

you hold your world like a grain of sand

Smile, child, and see time stand still

Smile, child, It's such a thrill

Smile



Cut me with your eyes and penetrate my soul

Fill my holy faith with another hole

Kindly break my spirit, dear

When I asked you to listen, you did not hear.

You touched the silence and the world flew by

To plant a tear. . . you need to cry
