Peabo Bryson
Smile (Stand for Love)
[Verse 1]
I thought we had it all
I always thought we’d have forever love
My back’s against the wall
What I wouldn’t give to erase the pain I’ve caused

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve got to make you see
Just how much I really need you, oh
I’m telling you affectionately
I’ve done all that I can do, now it’s up to you

[Chorus]
Oh, smile, just believe we can step into the future hand in hand
Share our hopes and dreams forever
Smile, then you’ll see that the world can be a perfect place to be
If we only stay together, I’ll make you smile again
Make you smile, yeah yeah

[Verse 2]
The tender love we shared
It’s so much more than just a memory
This love could never be compared
No other love in this world could ever love like we love

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve got to make you see
Just how much I still need you
I’m asking you, I’m telling you affectionately
Tell me what you want me to do to prove my love to you
[Chorus]
Oh, smile, just believe we can step into the future hand in hand
Share our hopes and dreams forever
Smile, then you’ll see that the world can be a perfect place to be
If we only stay together

[Bridge]
Too many tears have fallen
Tell me why can’t you hear this heart calling, calling

[Chorus]
Smile, just believe we can step into the future hand in hand
Can you smile a while for me? Share our hopes and dreams forever
Wanna see you smile
Smile, then you’ll see that the world can be a perfect place to be
We can live in perfect, perfect harmony, if we only stay together

[Outro]
So many words left unspoken
Promises made and hearts are broken
Give me a chance to make you smile
