Smile
The Monkees · Music Box [2008]
Orange and blue skies
Oh, what a feeling deep inside
It's so hard for me to hide
You cannot imagine
A feeling so different
You've come so far, you're at my door
You're knocking at my door
Won't you come inside and talk awhile?
What I have to say may make you smile
Smile, smile, smile
I wake to the sun shining
Orange and blue skies
Oh, what a feeling deep inside
It's so hard for me to hide
Won't you come inside and talk awhile?
What I have to say may make you smile
Smile, smile, smile
