Song lyrics

What did you do? What did you say?
Did you walk or did you run away?
Where are you now? Where have you been?
Did you go alone or did you bring a friend?

I need to know this ‘cause I notice when you're smiling
Out in the sun having fun and you're feeling free,
And I can tell you know how hard this life can be,
But you keep on smiling for me.

What went right? What went wrong?
Was it the story or was it the song?
Was it overnight or did it take you long?
Was knowing your weakness what made you strong?
Or all the above?

Oh, how I love to see you smiling!
And, oh yeah, take a little pain just in case
You need something warm to embrace
To help you put on a smiling face,
Hey, put on a smiling face!

Don't you go off into the new day with any doubt?
Here's a summary of something that you could smile about,
Say for instance, my girlfriend, she bugs me all the time,
But the irony of it all is that she loves me all the time.

I want to be you whenever I see you smiling,
‘Cause it's easily one of the hardest things to do,
Your worries and fears become your friends,
And they end up smiling at you.
Put on a smiling face!
