I know you don't know me
If you did you would know why
I'm living my life with nothing but faith
That someday I will cry
That love is real and I'm not lost
---
I smile so I won't cry
Joy and pain, it's all the same
The grandest illusion, just play the game
Just smile through it all
It will break your fall
---
I smile so I don't cry
I've been lost and I've been loved
Now I wonder which was best
Lost all alone, no friends, no guest
Or love so true, every caress takes your breath
---
.
I smile so I won't cry
I've felt wonder and beauty so real
Rip out these walls and see what I feel
On occasion I have a genuine smile
It comes from the laughter of my child
