I want to make you smile
Just by chance you haven't in a while
Go on and curl up your lips
I hope you're smiling after you read this

Be thankful for every hour of the day
Share your life along the way
Flow with your means, sit back enjoy the ride
I'll meet you on the other side

Everyone knows their own truth within
It's all you, there's no pretend
Only you know what's inside your mind
It's only you spending your own time

You can't control what's on the outside
Out there it's a whole other ride
It's not easy to make the best of it
You need the right frame of mind

Souls shared within the loving family
Shared among loving friends
Deep rooted love
Love that will never end

We are all shooting stars passing the moon
Dream filled lights that burn out too soon
Burning just enough to make dreams come alive
Never enough to help those dreams survive

Choose a path to find your way
Share your love for life every day
It just dawned on me right here and now
I'll take the credit
Yes, I'll take a bow

By now you should know what I'm talking about
If we all share our love we'll never live without
I'll take the credit for bringing it around again
Sharing my love with all my family and friends

Be thankful every hour of the day
A blink of an eye can take it away
Flow with your means, sit back enjoy the ride
Let your love flow to the other side

We let the good times roll
Memories that are kept under control
Remembering smiles from the past
That's how you make smiles last

I wanted to make you smile
By chance are you smiling now?
Did you curl up your lips?
Did you smile after reading this?
