Every Time I See You Smile - Chris Rea

Sat out a card game in a motel room

Don’t let the muzak drive you crazy late at night

They tell me it’s all part of the deal I’m in

Well I close my eyes, put memory into sight

Every time I see you smile

Now the lady tabs your case, leaves you thinking

An hour or so: I hope she’s right on time

And you dream away your touchdown destination

Now single file and put yourself back in line

But oh, every time I see you smile

Now this old world don’t give much for choosing

You can spend a lifetime driving yourself wild

But I can take it’s punches laughing — don’t mind losing

Just as long as I get to see you smile every once in a while
