Smiling Down At Me

Slow, heartfelt piano ballad with warm male vocals; intimate verses over sparse keys and soft pads, chorus opens with wide chords, subtle bass, and airy backing harmonies; gentle rise in the bridge with a simple drum swell and strings, then a stripped final chorus that lands on a tender, unresolved chord

[Verse 1] R.I.P. Pops I still say it under my breath Wish I knew then What my older heart knows now All the late nights All the weight you carried quiet Every scar you hid So I could sleep somehow [Chorus] You turned me to the man I am With all the struggle All the fight All the love you had to give You will always be loved Never forgotten Every step I take You’re walking in it I hope you’re finally free Finally at peace Maybe even smiling down at me Smiling down at me (yeah) [Verse 2] I see your hands In the way I hold my son Hear your voice When I tell him to be strong Didn’t get to say Half the words I had for you So I wear them Every day Just moving on [Chorus] You turned me to the man I am With all the struggle All the fight All the love you had to give You will always be loved Never forgotten Every step I take You’re walking in it I hope you’re finally free Finally at peace Maybe even smiling down at me Smiling down at me [Bridge] If you could see me now Would you be proud? (tell me) I’m still learning how To carry you out loud In every choice I make In every prayer I speak You’re the quiet strength Underneath my feet [Chorus] You turned me to the man I am With all the struggle All the fight All the love you had to give You will always be loved Never forgotten Every step I take You’re walking in it I hope you’re finally free Finally at peace Maybe even smiling down at me Smiling down at me (oh) Smiling down at me
