Your Smile

BACK TO LYRICS

Album: Let It Go
Music & Lyrics: Alexis Vear
Secret: “The doctors found a problem with my daughter’s heart. They scheduled her for some tests. The night before her tests, she came up to me while I was sitting at my piano. She said “Mom let’s write a song together”. I was so excited. She said, “Write down, the sun is setting over my shoulders”… I looked up at her and she said, “I changed my mind, I don’t want to write a song.” Then she skipped away as little girls do. That night I couldn’t go to sleep, so I sat in bed with that paper, and that first sentence she had given me, and I wrote this song for both of my precious babies.”

……………………………………

The Sun is setting over my shoulder
The night breeze is getting a little colder
Everyday I seem to be growing older
But some things never change
Some things never change

Chorus

The way you smile at me
Makes my heart believe
That everything in the world is all right
Just as long as you are here by my side

Some of the dreams that I once thought would come true
I’ve grown out of like an old pair of shoes
The old ones wore so different than the new
But some things never change
Some things never change

Chorus

I can make it through the long hard day
I can deal with my hair when it turns grey
I can deal with what my foes may say
Just as long as you are here by my side

Chorus
