smile 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
