It's late at night,
she lights a candle to the dark.
She is waiting in vain,
she doesn't know he pain,
She doesn't know what it means to lose
Your best friend, lovers 'til the very end.
She thought they had a special thing,
now she's waiting for life to begin,
she's waiting for life to begin.
She's waiting for life to make a change,
to rearrange a frown to a smile.
And hold it for a while.
Come on and smile at me say hello,
Come on and smile, smile, smile.
Come on and smile at me say hello,
Come on and smile, smile, smile.
Come on and smile at me say hello,
Come on and smile, smile, smile.
The years have gone
She listens to her favorite song
An old familiar melody
She doesn't know how it will be
And that's as far as she can see
From now on
Many visions cloud her head
She never thought that it would end
Another reason to defend
And now it's time to make amends
She's waiting for life to make a change,
to rearrange a frown to a smile.
And hold it for a while.
Come on and smile at me say hello,
Come on and smile, smile, smile.
Come on and smile at me say hello,
Come on and smile, smile, smile.
Come on and smile at me say hello,
Come on and smile, smile, smile.
She's moving on,
in what direction she don't know.
She's got a long way to go,
so far away from your home.
She tries to find it in her own Inner child,
ride the wind and fly so wild.
Until those feet touch the ground,
look in the mirror there's a frown.
She's waiting for life to make a change,
to rearrange a frown to a smile.
And hold it for a while.
Come on and smile at me say hello,
Come on and smile, smile, smile.
Come on and smile at me say hello,
Come on and smile, smile, smile.
Come on and smile at me say hello,
Come on and smile, smile, smile.
