every time I think of you,

smile for a while

that's the one thing you always do

smile smile smile



acting out stories and hugging your friends

smile for a while

i know what i'll do when i see you again

i'm gonna smile smile smile



chorus:

like ripples in a pond

or runners who pass the baton

good feelings will go on for mile after mile

and your big heart circles the world

every time that you smile



doing those voices and telling your jokes

smile for a while

your crazy hairdos and your thriftshop coats

smile smile smile



every time you break into a broadway song

smile for a while

the whole world starts singing along

smile smile smile



well you know i love you and i'm glad you're my friend

smile for a while

you know what i'll do when i see you again

smile smile smile
