A Thousand Smiles

If you try real hard you'll make me smile
It may even stay with me a while
All I'm asking is a little fun
To turn darkness around to face the sun
Is that really such a lot to ask
When I smile I can take off my mask
For it lights me deep into my soul
Warms me up and makes my life feel whole

A thousand smiles have passed me by
Ten thousand tears have left my eyes

Will I ever know true happiness
The full passion of love's first real kiss
All I'm asking is a little love
To lift me high into the sky above
Maybe my dreams aren't a reality
Perhaps one day life will favour me
Show me happiness for a short while
All it takes is just to make me smile

A thousand smiles have passed me by
Ten thousand tears have left my eyes

Once upon a time I dreamed a dream
Not a nightmare for it held no scream
In my dream I smiled a thousand smiles
Love had found me and stayed around for a while

A thousand smiles have passed me by
Ten thousand tears have left my eyes.....
