Lyrics:
“Your Smile”
Now those might be the saddest,
Big ‘ol baby blues I ever seen.
How did I know, you’d been cryin’?
Baby, you got make-up runnin’ down your cheek.
You’re just a Queen lookin’ for a crown,
Lost when you stumbled over some silly clown.Take that frown,
Turn it upside down,
‘Cause you never know who might be,
Fallin’ in love with your smile.A broken heart that’s on the mend,
Takes a little time, I realise.
An’ right now you wouldn’t know,
True love if it looked you in the eye.
Girl, I did my best; I really tried to make you grin.
An’ before I say goodbye, I’m gonna tell you again.Take your frown,
Turn it upside down,
Oh, you never know who might be,
Fallin’ in love with your smile.[Instrumental Break]
Take your frown,
An’ turn it upside down,
Oh, you never know who might be,
Fallin’ in love with your smile.Those might be the saddest,
Big ‘ol baby blues I ever seen.
