When I see you smile, Yeah I can face the world. Oh, you know I can do anything now. When I see you smile. Oh, yeah. Baby when I see you smile, Smile at me.
Bad English is the band that sang that song!! Such a great song that really brings back the memories (like dedications over local radio station and nights at the roller rink)!! Great rhythm, vocals, and lyrics!!!
"So I'm gonna smile,'Cause I want to make you happy; Laugh, so you can't see me cry..... I'm gonna let you go in style..... And even if it kills me,I'm gonna smile"
You're right. It's Bad English. (Though I looked it up on the lyrics website to make sure because I remembered it associated with Warrant for some reason, and they too have it listed as Warrant! But Wikipedia has it correctly listed as Bad English.)
I remember tons of dedications of it on the radio, too. LOL!
Plus found something interesting about it. I remember hearing this on the radio when we went to Jamaica in the early 90s and thinking, "Why are they playing this old song? Guess they're behind the times." But when looking for the artist name, I came across a Jamaican artist that covered it 1992. So I guess maybe that was the "old" (new?) song they were playing?
Just a babe in a black abyss, No reason for a place like this, The walls are cold and souls cry out in pain, An easy way for the blind to go, A clever path for the fools who know The secret of the Hanged Man - the smile of his lips.
And we'll hide out in the private rooms With the latest dictionary of today's who's who They'll get you anything with that evil smile Everybody's got a drug dealer on speed dial

Smile, though your heart is aching.
ReplyDeleteSmile, even though it's breaking.
Though there are clouds in the sky,
You get by...
If you smile through your fears and sorrows.
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through.
If you just light up your face with gladness,
Hide every trace of sadness.
Although a tear may be ever, ever so near.
That's the time you must keep on trying.
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find life is worthwhile
If you'll just smile, come on and smile.
If you just smile.
Smile - Lyle Lovett
