I came across an old video of Brad and I performing this at a Gamma Beta Coffee House (the same one where Aaron and I played
Vicious Circle). Thought somebody out there might enjoy it. Lots of people seem to like this song, and the live version is a little better because Brad does the harmonies instead of me. (In the MP3 recording, I sing both vocal parts.)
Smiling Girlpenned August 10, 2002 (portions June 27, 2001)
lyrics: butler | music: havensJust today, I woke up on the wrong side of my bed
I honestly felt half dead
I was having a terrible day
'Til you smiled my tears away
I wish everyone could be like you
I wish I could be more like you
Smiling girl
Saying everything's gonna be all right
In the way that only she can
When she smiles, my upside-down world's upright
So don't stop smiling...I'm not saying that she's never sad
But I know that she makes me feel glad
I know she has terrible days
Yet she smiles her tears away
I wish I could be more like you
I wish everyone could be like you
