Lyrics

You Taught Us
Words and Music by Ben Smith

They laughed at you cause you rode your bicycle in the rain
They laughed at you cause you wore your wallet on a chain
They laughed at you push your shopping cart up and down the street
Still you had a great big smile for everyone you'd meet

They laughed at you cause you had a funny distant stare
They laughed at you cause you talked to people who weren't there
They laughed at you cause you'd go skipping own the street
Still you had a great big smile for everyone you'd meet

And you taught us how to laugh
And you taught us how to cry
And you taught us how to smile
Taught us how to get along
How to miss you since your gone
How to go the extra mile
And you taught us how to laugh
And you taught us how to cry
And you taught us how to smile
Taught us how to get along
How to miss you since your gone
Thank God it's only for a while

Your death left a hole in the middle of this little town's heart
You were always there seemed like everywhere
And your life made us much more thankful for what we've got
As we watched you care

And you taught us how to laugh
And you taught us how to cry
And you taught us how to smile
Taught us how to get along
How to miss you since your gone
How to go the extra mile
And you taught us how to laugh
And you taught us how to cry
And you taught us how to smile
Taught us how to get along
How to miss you since your gone
Thank God it's only for a while
