Smile

Lyrics by Michael Oliva
From the CD "Modern Love"
(P) 2006 Getsemani Music (ASCAP)


Same old city’s half asleep
My eyes tend to see
Worn out faces on worn down streets
Far too many dreams

Sharing stories, no one cares
Three more drinks are in me
Search for courage…halfway there
I’ll try to work up the nerve

Well I tried
And I tried
Yeah I tried
…I choked; at least I tried my best
But don’t confess, just flash a smile

and I swear I must be losing my mind
I’ve done things I said I never would try
The clouds are to starting to gather rain
This happiness outweighs the pain

Oh

So many things have changed
Most of it stayed the same
I know I know, baby don’t go
Sometimes you crash and burn
Some follow through that storm
Wah oh uh oh, oh no

I tried
I tried
Yeah I tried
…I choked; at least I tried my best
Don’t confess, flash a smile

and I swear I must be losing my mind
I’ve done things I said I never would try
The clouds are to starting to gather rain
This happiness outweighs the pain

Oh, flash a smile

Flash a Smile
