She packed my lunch up in a box |
|
For my first day of school |
|
I said I wish you could go with me today |
|
She said you're gonna be alright |
|
Just like |
|
I promised you |
|
Just remember any time you feel afraid |
|
I want you to smile |
|
And know you're not alone |
|
Dry those little eyes |
|
I'll be here when you come home |
|
I'm always in your heart |
|
Even when we are apart |
|
It's only for a while |
|
So I want you to smile |
|
She packed my suitcase in the trunk |
|
When I turned eighteen |
|
And drove me all the way to |
|
TennesseeShe said |
|
I know you're gonna make it |
|
I've got faith in you |
|
And while you're out there chasin' down your dreams |
|
I want you to smile |
|
And know you're not alone |
|
Dry those little eyes |
|
I'll be there when you come home |
|
I'm always in your heart |
|
Even when we are apart |
|
It's only for a while |
|
So I want you to smile |
|
She fought for three long years |
|
And didn't wanna leave |
|
No matter what they told her |
|
She still believed |
|
So she used the tools |
|
God gave her |
|
But in the end they couldn't save her |
|
As I sat there by her bed watching her sleep |
|
She must have heard a tear roll down my cheek' |
|
Cause that's when she said to me |
|
I want you to smile |
|
And know you're not alone |
|
Dry those little eyes |
|
I'll be there when you come home |
|
I'm always in your heart |
|
Even when we are apart |
|
It's only for a while, it'll only be a while |
|
So I want you to smile |
