Intro:
I dedicate this song to recession, depression and unemployment.
This song's for you.
Verse 1:
Today's a new day, but there is no sunshine.
Nothing but clouds and it's dark in my heart and it feels like a cold night.
Today's a new day, but where are my blue skies?
Where is the love and the joy that you promised me?
Tell me it's alright.
(I'll be honest with you)
Pre-chorus
I almost gave up, but a power that I can't explain
Fell from heaven like a shower now.
(When I think how much better I'm gon' be when this is over)
Chorus:
I smile.
Even though I hurt, see, I smile.
I know God is working so I smile.
Even though I've been here for a while,
I smile, smile.
It's so hard to look up when you look down.
Sure would hate to see you give up now.
You look so much better when you smile, so smile.
(Now every day ain't gon' be perfect, but it still don't mean today don't have
purpose.)
Verse 2:
Today's a new day, but there is no sunshine.
Nothing but clouds, and it's dark in my heart and it feels like a cold night.
Today's a new day, but tell me where are my blue skies?
Where is the love and the joy that you promised me?
Tell me it's alright.
(The truth is)
Repeat pre-chorus
Repeat chorus, except leave out "so smile"
Bridge:
Smile for me.
Can you just smile for me.
Smile (smile smile) for me.
Can you just smile for me.
Hook:
Oh-oh-oh, you look so much better when you...
Oh-oh-oh, you look so much better when you...
Oh-oh-oh, you look so much better when you...
Oh-oh-oh, you look so much better when you...
Oh-oh-oh, you look so much better when you...
Oh-oh-oh, you look so much better when you
Oh-oh-oh, you look so much better when you...
Oh-oh-oh, you look so much better when you smile.
Repeat pre-chorus
(Hardships, difficulties) right now
(Tears, thoughts, this is what I do)
Repeat chorus
Repeat hook
