Smile - Leila

Ever notice… what we don’t notice in our lives

Within the smallest victories a chance to find tranquility

They… slip by

And in our quest for something more

The what I have’s slip out the door

The what I don’ts then flood the mind

But miracles are there to find

An ice cream cone in the hot summer sun

I catch the drips in time before they run

And I Smile.

A feeling of complete accomplishment

Without the need for their acknowledgement.

I smile

ever notice the imperfections are just perfect?

it means no one is anymore

than me or you… or the guy next door

it’s so obvious

a long day coming to an end

a greeting from your furry friend

and choosing the I knew you could’s

instead of all the think you should’s

(Repeat Chorus) (Chorus 2)

the perfect pair of jeans the perfect size

are waiting there for me before my eyes

I smile, when I’m at peace with all I see and do

but doing nothings just the thing to do… I smile

(Bridge) a sparkly macaroni card

pasted together by the hands of a child

a concert in an open field in perfect weather

with the one by your side
