TRANSCRIPT
Daria Jones – Smile
Ooh
Wo-wo-woah
Yeah
I can see the rain falling from the clouds
I’ve seen my blue skies turn to gray
Begin to see the sun shining so bright
But then my dark nights turn to day, oh
Oh, it makes me want to smile
So I smile
It brings me joy, I
So I smile
It makes me wanna
So I smile
It bring me joy, I
So I smile
See, there’s no need for me
To ever complain
In my time of troubles
You brighten my day
I’m so glad it’s my life
You chose to sustain
And forever promise
I will repay
I get so sick from the aches and pains in my heart
It’s like my world is falling apart, oh
Sometimes it feels like my struggle will never end
But then I hear your voice calling my name
Oh, it makes me want to smile
But I smile
It brings me joy, I
So I smile
It makes me wanna
So I smile
It bring me joy, I
So I smile
See, there’s no need for me
To ever complain
In my time of troubles
You brighten my day
I’m so glad it’s my life
You chose to sustain
And forever promise
I will repay
See life can be a raging storm
Wrapped in your arms I know I’m warm
Protect me, Keep me safe from harm
With you around no longer down
Life will put you through the test
You just survive as you know best
Continue looking to the sky
Wipe your tears, no more you cry
You smile
You’ll smile
See, It brings me joy, I
So I smile
It makes me wanna
So I smile
It bring me joy, I
So I smile
See, there’s no need for me
To ever complain
In my time of troubles
You brighten my day
See, I’m so glad it’s my life
You chose to sustain
And forever promise
I will repay
I smile, so I smile
I smile, so I smile
I smile, I smile
I smile, so I smile
Thank You! I hope you’re smiling after that. (laughs)

I see the emotion of what I might be singing on their faces, and it lets me know that I’m doing my job. I just enjoy singing, I enjoy making people happy with my music.
