Smile Lyrics

Turn off the lights and shut the blinds

I couldn't sleep at all last night

With all this running through my mind

I don't know why I even tried

I'm feeling twice the age I am

My body's acting up again

I try to do the best I can

So I could be a better man

But I finally got that devil off my shoulder

So hell, I think I've earned the right to smile

For just a little while

Put that kettle on the stove

So I can warm up these old bones

Think of us when we were young

We thought the world was made of gold

But we were selfish and naive

With our heads so full of dreams

Now that time has come between

Things aren't as pretty as they seem

But I finally got that devil off my shoulder

So hell, I think I've earned the right to smile

For just a little while

For just a little while

Things aren't like they used to be

And that's alright with me

I was a liar and a cheat, but hey…

There's worse things you could be

But I finally got that devil off my shoulder

So hell, I think I've earned the right to smile

And I hope you get that devil off your shoulder

Maybe yours could keep mine company

Yeah, that'd be just fine with me
