Smile - Album Lyrics

Smile

The smile is the sunshine of your soul
Puts joy where there was once a lonely hole
No need to keep it together
Emotions are like the weather- no control.
You’ve been on my mind since before we met
I’ve been searchin’ for something to find
That I can place my bet
Put the smile back on my face

Erase all my mistakes- no regrets

To get a little older
Lifes’ lessons can only make us bolder
You live long enough to know there’s no hope
Until you let things go…
Smile is the sunshine of your soul
Gives us light when there’s nothing left to hold
Weight of the day can bring us down
A smile turns us around and makes us whole
Pretty mixed up world these days
It’s hard to find a smile in this complicated maze
The homeless on the streets
And soldiers in retreats
The bullshit on the news
Humanity paying its’ dues
Still feels good
To get a little older
Lifes’ lessons can only make us bolder
We live long enough to know there’s no hope
Until we let things go…
Reality is what we make it be
Can send us high
Or drop us to our knees
To age with grace
Is to save this human race
With a smile…

Won’t you smile… smile… smile!

Fairytale Land

Walked into a pawn shop and looked beneath the glass
Were all these wedding rings, promises of the past
Each one told a story, a moment of true glory.
The woman that gave it the shine
The fella that spent his last dime
I want to know where they are now
Did their hearts ever mend?
Does time get you over the pain
Or does a piece of it linger?
I stare at my own naked finger
How can something so precious
Completely go to waste
And wind up under the glass
In some display case?
And all the smiles that ring
Must have brought
Doesn’t matter a thing
For the price and the loss.
And I want to know where fairy tale land really is!
And happy ever after
I want to know who the prince is
That kissed the lonely frog
REPEAT
Does he have time for one more kiss
One more kiss?

All about Me

Tons of people I could talk to
Tons of people I could see
I could tell them all my problemsv And make it all about me
I could look them in the eyes
I could see what I see
They’re on the other side
But right now it’s all about me
It’s all about me
That’s all I can see
I need a change of perspective
Something to let my mind be
Cause it’s all about me
Sometimes it’s all I can see
We get caught up being selfish
We get feeling sorry for ourselves
We get locked up in our heads
Forget about everybody else
And there are thousands we could talk to
But who will really understand
They are stuck up in their own minds
Wrapped up in their plans
Cause it’s all about me
Sometimes it’s all they see
So give me new perspective
Get me out of myself
Let me give to other people
Put my attention to something else
And remember to be grateful
For everything I have
A little bit of gratitude
Then it’s really not so sad
Cause it’s not about me
No, it’s not all about me
No, it’s how it should be

Simple Things

The simple things you do let me know you care
The way I see you look at me, I feel it in your stare
I’ll open up my heart, give to you my love
You take my breath away, like no one else I know
And sometimes I can’t put to words just how I feel
Sometimes they get twisted up inside
But I have this need to tell you just what is real
It becomes a desperate need and I can’t hide
All the things you are, I can truly see
The passion inside your heart
Brings out the best in me
I do my best to love you the very best I can
Say we’ll be here forever, till the very end!!!
And sometimes I can’t put to words just how I feel
Sometimes they get twisted up inside
But I have this need to tell you just what is real
It becomes a desperate need and I can’t hide
It becomes a desperate need and I can’t hide
I just can’t hide!!!
May your marriage be one of passion and simple things you do for each other!

Love is Decorated

I think you took me by surprise
So many feelings, I hadn’t realized
You’ve been sitting there watching me loose my way
You’ve been sitting there with so much to say
Finally you opened your mouth
Finally you let those words spill out
Telling me about the tremors in your heart
Telling me about the fire you want to start
And all the passion that’s inside
The hidden doors you’ve never tried no
You never realized
Love is decorated with so many faces
Designed to test your limits, and take you many places
Do you want to go do you want to see
Do you want to come with me?
Cause I’ve been beaten down
I get so afraid, it will all get turned around
But I am more strong than smart
My logic gets over run by this great big giant heart
Love is decorated with so many faces
Designed to test your limits, and take you many places
Do you want to go do you want to see
Do you want to come with me?
Do you want to come with me?
There you sit, know I’ve lost my way
There you sit, with so much to say
You’ve been beaten down too
You’ve been tossed around til your
Black and blue
It’s hidden under that smile
Let’s hold eachother for just a little while
Touch me, skin to skin
Where do I start
Where do you end
We’re so afraid
Of the love we’ve never made
We’re so afraid
Of the love we’ve never made
Love is decorated with so many faces
Designed to test your limits, and take you many places
Do you want to go do you want to see
Do you want to come with me?
Do you want to come with me? (Love is Decorated)
Do you want to come with me? (Love is Decorated)
Cause I am more strong than smart (Love is Decorated)
My logic gets over run by this great big giant heart…
(Love is decorated, love is decorated, love is decorated ) [fade]

Mamma

I told you that I loved you, yes I did
You know you were my hero Since I was a little kid
I’d try to do things Just to make you proud
You gave me the courage To say things out loud.
Mamma give me the Strength to carry on
To do the things I need to do And be strong
You were such a lively one And loved by us all
A giant ball of energy In a woman so damn small…
I hear the echoes of Your laughter in my ears
And all the words of wisdom You gave us through the years
You brought people from All across the land
To gather for your meals Oh so nicely planned
And Mamma give us The strength to carry on
To do the things we need to do To be strong
You were such a lively one And loved by us all
A giant ball of energy In a woman so damn small…

Love Like Ours

Ain’t no words I could possibly say
To make a love like this go away
Ain’t no thing that I wouldn’t do
If it meant spendin’ time with you
Ain’t no song that I couldn’t see
To let you know what your love brings
Nothing I wouldn’t be to let you know
What your love does to me
Love like ours it’s a blessed thing
Makes me feel like I can do, most anything
Love like ours is a cherished dance
True definition of sweet romance
A love like ours!
So come ‘on over here
And bring that smile
I’ll make every ounce
Worth your while
Slip into my arms
I’ll make it all nice
And you’ll never ever
Have to think twice
Like fine wine we’ve been through a lot
But it hasn’t made me forget what I’ve got
I see it in your eyes the twinkle is bright
Just the thing that I need to get me through the night
Love like ours it’s a blessed thing
Makes me feel like I can do, most anything
Love like ours is a cherished dance
True definition of sweet romance
A love like ours!

Working Whore

Life can be simple if you make it that way
Strange how I call you up and it’s a complicated day
You got your things to do and your debt to pay
I hang up the phone to make my own pain go away.
She’s got her kids to feed and her things to do
She’s got a job and a husband and the hell that she’s been through
She tries to keep her life on the up side
She’s got herself convinced she takes it all in stride
Still there’re times where she wants to get away
Smoke, drink, get high and put it off on another day
This work horse plan isn’t any kind of way
To make her life!
Talked to my partner he’s in the same place
A workin’ whore, he wants so much more
You can see it in his face
Extra hours a week, they suck you in
To handle that and a wife, Mr. You’ll never win
Still there’re times where he wants to get away
Smoke, drink, get high and put it off on another day
This work horse plan isn’t any kind of way
To make his life!
Routine creeps in every life in every day
Still the bills pile up, they call it the American way
And you got your things to do and your debt to pay
And ain’t there times you just got to get away
It’s hard to watch your dreams go flying out the door
Turn ourselves into work machines and wonder what it’s all for
There’s got to be a better way cause we all want so much more
From this life!
Working whore- – there’s so much more
Working whore — there’s so much more

They Can’t See

Don’t try to scold me
Try to mold me into what you want
Don’t lie pull the wool over my eyes
Try to crucify by being blunt
I know what you did
You were just a kid
And you got off
Consciousness is a funny thing
You’ll pay the price
For the pain you bring
And some how you’ll keep runnin’
And some how you’re gonna get what’s commin’ to you
And some how I’ll make my way
Regardless, of what you say!
I have had enough
They couldn’t see it
To call your bluff
They stand in line
Just to make you afraid
Make you feel guilty
Manipulated and betrayed
And anything looks bad in the wrong light
Twisted and bent they try with all their might
Cause they are loosing sight
They just can’t see
And anything looks bad in the wrong light
Twisted and bent they try with all their might
Cause they are loosing sight
They just can’t see
No they just can’t see
It’s their reality
They just can’t see
To let me be
Just let me be

Obligation

I never want to be your obligation
I never want to be your routine
I never want to be something you have to do
In order for you to feel clean
I never want to be the one to put you down
I never want to be the one to put you out
I never want to be the one to cause a frown
Babe that’s not what I’m about
I never want to be the one to cause you any pain
I never want to be the one you feel you gotta restrain
no nooo
We both have a history
We both see through different eyes
We both had to overcome
See the truth through all the lies
If I told you when I touch you
You’re all I can conceive
When I hold you and tell you I love you
Do you believe?
Cause it’s not what I’m after
Like something I’m trying to gain
It’s all my love just spillin’ out for you
That I can’t contain
I want you to touch me when you want to
I want you to do it with your whole heart
Don’t want you to slip into some story book
And play the part
You’ve had so many others
The formula helped you survive
But here I am and I’m different then the rest
To be with me Be alive
Here I am and I’m different then the rest
To be with me Be alive
Don’t you run, Don’t you hide
Keep your eyes open wide
To be with me, be alive!

Diggy Dog

I have a best friend yea, she’s one of a kind
She has four paws and a hairy behind yea

She’s my dog…she’s my diggy diggy diggy dog yea
She’s my dog…she’s my diggy diggy diggy dog!

She hangs her head out the window
When we go for rides
I tell her every thing, it’s her I confide in
She’s my dog

She’s my dog…she’s my diggy diggy diggy dog yea
She’s my dog…she’s my diggy diggy diggy dog!

I want to be, the person my dog sees yea

She’s my dog…she’s my diggy diggy diggy dog yea
She’s my dog…she’s my diggy diggy diggy dog!

We go for long walks and, she wags her tail
It’s a good thing she can’t talk or, I’d be in jail yea

She’s my dog…she’s my diggy diggy diggy dog yea
She’s my dog…she’s my diggy diggy diggy dog!

I want to know why, she circles around before lying down
I want to know why, she eats dirt and digs in the ground

She’s my dog…she’s my diggy diggy diggy dog yea
She’s my dog…she’s my diggy diggy diggy dog!

We all need to take a lesson from animals that sooth our aggression
Everybody needs a diggy diggy diggy...
everybody needs a diggy diggy diggy...
everybody needs a diggy diggy diggy DOG!!!!

Love has it’s Ways

Flowers in the sunshine
Just like rain, on a cloudy day
I don’t know where I’m going
And I don’t always know, what to say
But I sure like, my life today
Been a long time
Since I’ve be loved right
Been a long time
I stopped crying through the night
Spent a long time
Trying to live my life
The way I thought it was suppose to be lived
But as you can see it washed right though
And pushed me down but I came back to
And some times, love has its ways
And some times, love has its ways
Butterflies and Bees
Clean fresh air
And trees
A brand new love
Refreshing start
To comfort this soul
And soothe this weary heart
A lakes’ waves
This dizzy haze
Makes my heart spin
From the place that I’ve been
As you can see it washed right through
And pushed me down but I came back to
And sometimes love has its ways
Some times love has its ways
And I sure like my life today
And I sure like my life today
