The Smiles Outweigh the Tears

Words and music by Joe Dickinson

I couldn’t find the words to tell

You just how I feel

I couldn’t think of what to say

To make my love seem real

Though I know you don’t believe in anything

That hasn’t been tried and true

Open up your arms and just let me in

I swear I’ll be the man for you

Oh I swear I’ll be the man for you

Life when you’re young doesn’t seem to end

Every day goes so slow

Now everything just moves too fast

Where did my time go?

Oh you know I don’t believe in anything

That doesn’t go and make me blue

Open up your arms and just let me in

I swear I’ll be the man for you

Oh I swear I’ll be the man for you

Every man has a dream

But not every dream comes true…….

Oh how could I have known that it would be like this?

Never in a million years

And every time that I want to leave

I think the smiles outweigh the tears

The smiles outweigh the tears

Oh I know the smiles outweigh the tears

The smiles outweigh the tears
