**[Verse 1]** The morning slips through the old front door Like it's been here a thousand times before The coffee's warm, the world's asleep And you're the promise that I get to keep The birds don't know they're singing our song They've been humming it all along Every sunrise seems to agree Life begins when you smile at me **[Pre-Chorus]** No diamonds shine the way you do No distant dream feels half as true **[Chorus]** When you smile at me The clouds all drift away Every little worry Loses one more day When you smile at me The whole world feels brand new I never needed perfect I just needed you **[Verse 2]** We've watched the seasons paint the trees Shared quiet nights and gentle dreams A thousand roads could call my name I'd still come home to you the same Your hand still fits inside of mine Like it did the very first time Love grows stronger naturally Every time you smile at me **[Pre-Chorus]** No fancy words could ever say What your eyes tell me every day **[Chorus]** *[Three-part harmonies]* When you smile at me The shadows disappear Every beat of my heart Finds another year When you smile at me The silence sings so sweet Heaven isn't far away It's where our two hearts meet **[Bridge]** *[Soft piano joins]* If all we own is this little life A wooden porch and simple nights I'll count myself the richest man As long as you're still holding my hand **[Final Chorus]** When you smile at me Time slows peacefully Every dream I've ever chased Is sitting here with me When you smile at me I finally understand Love was never something found It was always in your hand **[Outro]** So let the years come quietly Like leaves upon an autumn breeze If tomorrow brings the same old sky Just smile at me... and I'll be all right.
