Lirieke: Terri Clark. I Want You To Smile.

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 I know you'll be alright just like I promised you
Just remember anytime you feel afraid

I want you to smile
And know you're not alone
Dry those little eyes
Ill be here when you come home
I'm always in heart
Even we are apart
If only for awhile
So I want you to smile

She packed suitcase in the trunk
When I turned eighteen
And drove me all the way to Tennessee
She said I know you're going to make it
I've got faith in you
And while you're out there chasing down you're dreams

I want you to smile
And know you're not alone
Dry those little eyes
Ill be here when you come home
I'm always in heart

Even we are apart
If only for awhile
So I want you to smile

She fought for 3 long years
And didn't want to leave
No matter what the they told her
She still believed
So she used the tools that god gave her
But In the end they couldn't save her
As I sat there by here bed watching her sleep
She must have heard a tear run 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
Ill be there when you come home
I'm always in heart
Even we are apart
If only for awhile
It'll only be awhile
So I want you to smile
