And You Smile [1st v:]
Sometimes
We all look around
See people smiling
All the while
We're walking through
All our sorrows
Falling on the ground
Asking
Wondering
Just what does it take
Why do we all
Make so many
Mistakes
The I look to the side
One who never thinks twice
Has nothing to hide
So calm....so serene
Never angered
Holds so much
Never cruel....knows all of what it can mean
After awhile
Just one more glance
There you go
Say a word or two
And you smile....
[1st ch]
We take so much
Everyday
In our lives
We sometimes miss out
On that special touch
Slow down
Look around
It can be happening
In the most humble town
One who knows more
That their weight in gold
They don't direct
What they're living for
You learn
Yeah
Sometimes....sometimes
We wake up and then we know
Not always do we need
To boil over and burn
Take your time
It may take awhile
But then suddenly....
It'll be you
And you'll smile
It'll be you
And you'll smile
[2nd v:]
Can we all be that way
Doubtful....
But
That doesn't mean
You can't try
Try to bring a little more
Happiness
To your every night
And....every day
How do they do it
They never bear anger in their
Heart and mind
Unfortunate events
Oh well....
You'll get over it
Do your best
And drive
No need to wonder why
Certain ones
Just stand out
Way above the rest
No....
Its not happening
Holding on to nothing in the way
Look over at you
And you smile
Its not going
To be such a bad day
As long as I laugh
Every
Every day
More and more
Unhappiness is cut more
Than just in half
How's it going
Its alright
Just alright....
Thats good enough
Its all
Alright
[2nd ch:]
We take so much
Everyday
In our lives
We sometimes miss out
On that special touch
Slow down
Look around
It can be happening
In the most humble town
One who knows more
That their weight in gold
They don't direct
What they're living for
You learn
Yeah
Sometimes....sometimes
We wake up and then we know
Not always do we need
To boil over and burn
Take your time
It may take awhile
But then suddenly....
It'll be you
And you'll smile
It'll be you
And you'll smile

~ Inspired by my friend/ co-worker, Jared....he is so unique, more so than the many people I have known....a person under extreme pressure [ moments at work ] and can keep smiling....always wants to sing or say things to make others laugh....he lives life so care free [ has not a whole lot, but works hard for what he and his family do have, and always appreciates everything ], is always happy....never frowns, and hides nothing....when I am in a bad mood I can just glance over at him, and he'll do or say something to make me laugh, never fails! But the pure persona is amazing, there is no cover letter to this person....if every one could be and feel like him, we would all have better days.... Once I just had to ask, " Don't you ever get mad? " he tried to fake a frown then smiled and laughed, saying " Nah....why bother ? " ~
