Here are the lyrics to ‘Smile’ – hope you are smiling too 🙂
SMILE 🙂
A smile is so simple
is so easy and so free
why not give it away, happily
The young and old
everyone will all agree
your smile is always welcome, constantly
The window pane looks on
without judgement
The mirror cares not
if you’ve just got out of your bed
You see your reflection
in the surface of the water
As long as you are smiling
you will not be misled
Chorus
Getting interest, at the bank
costs you money
Returns you get from smiles
are instant and free, and free, and free
The rewards are even greater
because smiles are healthy too
I will give you a present
here’s a smile from me to you 🙂
Chorus
