Smile smile my my my don't don't you cry my child
Smile smile oh my my tomorrow is going to be a good day
Sometimes I don't know what to think
I'm sitting all alone not knowing what to do
Had to be dealing with my parents splitting up
What to do?
When I'm only at an age I don't even have a say
You keep on breaking all these all these promises
You keep on breaking all these all these promises
Never kept one when you left my mom in this
You left me waiting at the door but you never came
My mother never said a thing
You left her at the kitchen floor
Begging you for something that was there before
You never noticed when you were so drunk out of your mind
And I was hiding behind the closet in fear for my life
But now the real reason why I'm looking out the window
Is in case you finally come around in hopes you turned your life around
Or if you didn't, I've grown up to protect my ma
I promise you that I'll never forget but I forgive you
Smile smile my my my don't don't you cry my child
Smile smile oh my my tomorrow is going to be a good day
And don't you fear
Know that one day all this will disappear
And now that I have my own fam I moved on without you
Now I have children of my own taught them value
Never left my fam no matter how bitter
And I saw an old man on a cane and he said
I'm sorry for all the trouble that I caused for you
All those nights hiding in fear I swear, it wasn't fair
What I did to your mother my drinking, bad
Is she here? can I see her? I really miss her?
I know that it'll take a lot to take in
So won't you sit here cuz the news is hard to bare, she past away
But in her final days before her last breath
She forgave you and taught me that love is to forgive you
Smile smile my my my don't don't you cry my child
Smile smile oh my my tomorrow is going to be a good day
And don't you fear
Know that one day all this will disappear
