Smile Lyrics - Steve Winwood

Just smile, just a smile 

Just smile, just a smile 

Just smile 

Just because the morning's sunny 

To say hello, to say good-bye 

Maybe something strikes you funny 

Or you don't know exactly why 

Ain't no reason to try and hide it 

A whole lot easier to let it out 

First it's playin' with your eyes 

Then it's makin' mischief around your mouth 

Just smile, just a smile 

Just smile, just a smile 

Just smile

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Lookin' at a sea of smilin' faces 

Knowin' we're the same inside 

Feelin' good to be together 

Feelin' glad to share the ride 

See the rainbow, see the baby 

Get in the picture with the groom and bride 

Holler 'cheese' and face the polaroid 

Show the love you feel inside 

Do you work at a job you despise? do you live with cockroaches? have you been mugged lately? did your favorite jeans shrink in the wash? everyone has problems. it doesn't mean you have to be a sourpuss. after all, the expression you wear on your face is far more important than the clothes you wear on your back. instead of letting the inside influence the outside, make the outside influence the inside. act the way you want to feel. if you want to be happy, start now. 

Just smile, just a smile 

A smile makes someone who's mad not mad 

A smile makes someone who's sad not sad 

A smile makes good people outta the bad 

A smile is an asset you always had 

It can bring you back from the end of the world 

Pick you up when you feel down 

Put you in touch with your fellow man 

Take an ugly situation and turn it around 

Photos 

Just smile, just a smile 

And now testimonial from former bag lady, wilma fox: 

I was in the gutter on the wrong side of town 

I'd sunk as low as a woman can go 

Eating outta garbage cans and sleeping on the ground 

And prayin' for a miracle to turn my life around 

One day last summer I was down to nuthin' 

The air was gritty, the subway was an oven 

Classic new york city, everybody shovin' 

The crowd was uncouth, gettin' mad, gettin' strange 

'cept the man in the booth, the man makin' change 

He looked me in the eye as he handed me a token 

He flashed me a smile and a spell was broken 

Just a smile, just smile, just a smile, just smile 

I bust thru that turnstile, I ran to my train 

People still looked hostile but somethin' had changed 

My express pulled in, the doors swung wide 

And I started to grin as I stepped inside 

I smiled as the train pulled outta that station 

Sorta tickled by the humor of my own situation 

Just a smile, just smile, just a smile, just smile 

And my attitude spread to all fellow riders 

They looked at each other and threw off those blinders 

Eyes that were dead suddenly shone 

One by one, they were touched, touched to the bone 

As they exited that car, great smiles burst forth 

Like the evenin' star, like breezes from the north 

Then one by one, they all departed 

And I saw what the man in the change booth had started 

Just smile, just a smile 

A smile is a very infectious thing. it spreads joy. it's a sign of caring. success or failure is caused by your mental attitude, not your mental capacity. yes, a smile can pick you up outta the gutter, make you prosperous. now I take taxis. you just have to smile once and the whole world will smile with you. and remember that old chinese proverb: man without smiling face must not open shot. paste that in your hat, honey. smile.
