Song Description

How life dishes out good things and bad things, and how some people can still keep a very positive perspective even if doled out bad news or terminal illness.

Lyrics

Smile At The World

You were a good friend when I needed you the most
You understood the cruelty of their jokes
I felt so ashamed I used to let solitude ease my pain

I?d stand alone in the pouring rain
When you came and you?d whisper in my ear my name
Your words gave meaning to my life again
Tellin? me of the beauty that?s in everything

Because of you I got thru high school
With self-respect and dignity
Even though you moved away
Your words have meaning to this day

* Smile at the world, don?t be afraid
You never know when God might be calling your name
Time passes swiftly
It?s here then gone
All we have are memories
That linger on

Reunion day I heard that God was callin? you
Yet you looked as happy as can be
I feared for you and said this can?t be true
Please God hear me

My tears fell freely but I didn't care
When you came and you'd whisper in my ear my name
Life is worth more than just heartaches and pain
Tellin? me of the beauty that?s in everything

Your words are an inspiration
That people should hear everyday
I'll never forget you for being a friend to the very last day

* Smile at the world, don?t be afraid
You never know when God might be calling your name
Time passes swiftly
It?s here then gone
All we have are memories
That linger on

* Smile at the world, don?t be afraid
You never know when God might be calling your name
Time passes swiftly
It?s here then gone
All we have are memories
That linger on

* Smile at the world, don?t be afraid
You never know when God might be calling your name
Time passes swiftly
It?s here then gone
All we have are memories
That linger on
