Smile Lyrics
Lyfe Jennings
Lyrics
Feels like I'm in Heaven
Rollin' my '67
Cadillac DeVille
Bumpin' that old Sugar Hill
Today I'm livin' proof
Your worst fear came true
I'm doin' alright without you, yeah
I'm doin' just fine
I'm leavin' all that darkness behind me
Makin' changes in my life
So when that sunshine finally finds me
I can stand fully in the light
Spread my wings an' reach for sky
I never felt so alive
Kiss my kids goodnight
Tell 'em Daddy's alright, I'm alright now
Honey child there's a whole world waitin' on you
Took a while but I finally made it through
Go 'head, you can smile now, all that darkness' behind you
Smile, smile, smile
Feels like I've been baptized
Almost drowned but I survived
She held me under for 5
Years of my life
But today I'm livin' proof
Your worst fear came true
I'm doin' alright without you, baby
Yes, I am
I'm leavin' all those grudges behind me
Throwin' fear out the window
So when these blessings come to find me
They will have room to breathe an' grow
Let my blessings overflow
An' get my life under control
So my kids will know
Daddy finally let go, I finally let go
Honey child there's a whole world waitin' on you
Took a while but I finally made it through
Go 'head you can smile now, all that darkness' behind you
Smile, smile, smile
Blue skies, blue skies are callin' you
No more teary eyes, full steam ahead now
An' I don't despise you at all
I thank you for the lessons you have taught me, oh, oh, yeah
Blue skies, oh, they clear an' blue
No more teary eyes, no cryin' for you, baby
An' I don't despise you at all
I thank you for the lessons you have taught me
Honey child there's a whole world waitin' on you
Took a while but I finally made it through
Go 'head you can smile now, all that darkness' behind you
Smile, smile, smile
