Smile Lyrics - David Byrne

Smile when tears are falling from your eyes 

Smile like windows of the shops at night 

Here - everything is as it seems 

All - the tables & the chairs seem real 

Here - paintings on the walls 

Somehow make it all so strange 

So smile - to brighten up the darkest day 

Your smile - like icing on a birthday cake 

Lovers - floating in a paradise 

Blue - lights flicker from a room at night 

I'm happy just to be just like one of these who smile 

How we sang 

How we loved 

How we were 

& How we was 

We're not afraid anymore

I'm scared of you 

I'm scared of me 

But scary things 

Will set me free 

I'm not afraid anymore 

So smile - when nothing seems to go your way 

Smiles - to take away our thoughts & cares 

Blue - like blood returning to my heart 

Fingers, Hands and every tiny part 

Every kid in every school 

Knows all you've got to do is - smile 

How we sang 

How we loved 

How we were 

& how we was 

We're not afraid anymore

I'm scared of you 

I'm scared of me 

But scary things 

Will set me free 

I'm not afraid anymore 

Smile when tears are falling from your eyes
