Terri Clark - Smile lyrics

She packed my lunch up in a box for my first day of school I said I wish you could go with me today She said you're gonna be alright just like I promised you Just remember any time you feel afraid I want you to smile And know you're not alone Dry those little eyes I'll be here when you come home I'm always in your heart Even when we are apart It's only for a while So I want you to smile She packed my suitcase in the trunk when I turned 18 And drove me all the way to Tennessee She said I know you're gonna make it, I've got faith in you And while you're out there chasin' down your dreams I want you to smile And know you're not alone Dry those little eyes I'll be there when you come home I'm always in your heart Even when we are apart It's only for a while So I want you to smile She fought for three long years and didn't wanna leave No matter what they told her, she still believed So she used the tools God gave her But in the end they couldn't save her As I sat there by her bed watchin' her sleep She must have heard a tear roll down my cheek That's when she said to me I want you to smile And know you're not alone Dry those little eyes I'll be there when you come home I'm always in your heart Even when we are apart It's only for a while So I want you to smile
