A song about the infectious positive personalities of kids. Inspired by my smiling son Brennan. That's him on the piano. Ain't he cute?

Lyrics
SMILING EYES OF BLUE
Written and Performed by Matthew Casey 2001
MY LIFE CHANGED THE DAY WE MET
WHEN OCTOBER SKIES WERE THRU
IT WASN’T LONG BEFORE I REALIZED
YOU WERE SENT HERE WITH A JOB TO DO
A CLASSIC CASE OF THE STUDENT TEACHING MASTER
SHOWING ME HOW LIFE IS EASIER WITH LAUGHTER
chorus
SMILE, YOURS IS BRIGHTER THEN THE SUNSHINE
LAUGH, ITS YOUR UMBRELLA IN THE RAIN
MY LIFE HAS CHANGED THRU WHAT IVE LEARNED FROM YOU
AND HOW YOU SEE THE WORLD
THROUGH YOUR SMILING EYES OF BLUE
NOT TOO LONG FROM HERE LIFE WILL BRING ITS MANY TESTS
THERE IS NOTHING FOR YOU TO FEAR
YOUR GIFT IS EFFORTLESS AT ITS BEST
BUT THE CHOICE IS YOURS I PRAY ITS JOY THAT YOU GO AFTER
SHOWING ME HOW LIFE IS EASIER WITH LAUGHTER
chorus
SMILE, YOURS IS BRIGHTER THEN THE SUNSHINE
LAUGH, ITS YOUR UMBRELLA IN THE RAIN
MY LIFE HAS CHANGED THRU WHAT I’VE LEARNED FROM YOU
AND HOW YOU SEE THE WORLD
THROUGH YOUR SMILING EYES OF BLUE
DEEP INSIDE THERE IS A CANDLE YOUR SOUL IS BURNING BRIGHT
THIS GIFT OF YOURS IT HAS BEEN GIVEN BY GOD
TO BRIGHTEN ALL OUR LIVES
chorus
SO SMILE, YOURS IS BRIGHTER THEN THE SUNSHINE
LAUGH, ITS YOUR UMBRELLA IN THE RAIN
MY LIFE HAS CHANGED THRU WHAT I’VE LEARNED
FROM YOU
AND HOW YOU SEE THE WORLD
THROUGH YOUR SMILING EYES
NOW I GET TO SEE THE WORLD, THRU BRENNANS EYES OF BLUE
