Smile For The Ages
Timothy A. Perry © 12/05/2001

Verse 1:
Every day’s a challenge.
Every step upon the floor.
Every night she fights
To keep the goblins from her door.
Her tears come down in torrents
But they never last for long.
For her soul holds many troubles
But her heart knows many songs.

Verse 2:
She makes her friends so easily.
There’s something in her eyes
That sees some inner beauty
When the cynic sees a lie.
When her heart is thrown in turmoil
Crashing hard upon her sleeve.
She latches onto someone
Finds a reason to believe.

Chorus:
She’s got a….. smile for the ages.
Even when the world has got her down.
Every day, she turns the pages.
She finds the strength to hold her ground.

Verse 3:
Her face takes in the sunshine
And her eyes reflect the stars.
Her head is filled with music
And she sings with all her heart.
She loves with no condition
And she laughs until she cries.
Her footsteps may be heavy
But her spirit’s free to fly.

Verse 4:
I stand here in my wonderment
Wishing that I had
Her kind of wide-eyed trust
That finds the good among the bad.
My heart is hers to keep
Forever joined, forever sure.
For in her smile I see
Forever young, forever pure. Chorus:
She’s got a….. smile for the ages.
Even when the world has got her down.
Every day, she turns the pages.
She finds the strength to hold her ground.
She finds the strength to hold her ground.
