Smile - Michael Grimm

I don’t want to be your stepping stone

taken for granted and left alone

I don’t want to be your «I remember him»

to be the man before the man that you let in

I tell you I can’t even get through the 4th of July

without thinking who left and when and why

without once at least I stopped and laughed

about you in nothing but that Uncle Sam hat

Yeah, it’s a sad and lonely day

to come so close and walk away

don’t take it hard, we missed it by a mile

when you think of me — smile

(that's all you gotta do)

Baby, I’m amazed that we got so far

you with your no flying and me with my no cars

now that it’s all over I can see the light

It’s pretty god damn funny in heinsite (= hindsight)

Yeah, it’s a sad and lonely day

to come so close and walk away

don’t take it hard, we missed it by a mile

when you think about me baby, when you think of me — you just smile

Oh, smile, babe, when you think of me baby

(Instrumental)

Yeah, it’s a sad and lonely day

to come so close and walk away

no baby, don’t take it hard, we missed it by a mile

when you think about me baby, when you think of me — you just smile

that’s all you gotta do

when you think about me baby, just smile

(that's right)
