Smile

i know you may feel down right now
but look to me and see
the pride in my eyes
the flood of tears leading from me

for i am so proud of you
and everything you've done for me
all the achievements you have accomplished
so please smile, just for me

i know what he said hurt so much
that you ran crying from the house
i know it'll take time to overcome this
and the childhood youve had

but please, my girl, please smile
show me that glint in your eye
show me a face free of sorrow
just please smile for me girl

it will take time to heal, i get it
but look at the blessings youve got
your strength and persistence
are great assets to you

look at the people who love you
jo, leeann, ida, carol
if not for me, smile for them
for they love you so

i know it's hard to get through each day
but you push and persevere
you can do this my girl
just smile for me, please
