She packed my lunch up in a box for my first day of school
|
I said I wish you could go with me today
|
She said you're gonna be alright just like I promised you
|
Just remember any time you feel afraid
|
|
I want you to smile
|
And know you're not alone
|
Dry those little eyes
|
I'll be here when you come home
|
I'm always in your heart
|
Even when we are apart
|
It's only for a while
|
So I want you to smile
|
|
She packed my suitcase in the trunk when I turned 18
|
And drove me all the way to Tennessee
|
She said I know you're gonna make it, I've got faith in you
|
And while you're out there chasin' down your dreams
|
|
I want you to smile
|
And know you're not alone
|
Dry those little eyes
|
I'll be there when you come home
|
I'm always in your heart
|
Even when we are apart
|
It's only for a while
|
So I want you to smile
|
|
She fought for three long years and didn't wanna leave
|
No matter what they told her, she still believed
|
So she used the tools God gave her
|
But in the end they couldn't save her
|
As I sat there by her bed watchin' her sleep
|
She must have heard a tear roll down my cheek
|
That's when she said to me
|
|
I want you to smile
|
And know you're not alone
|
Dry those little eyes
|
I'll be there when you come home
|
I'm always in your heart
|
Even when we are apart
|
It's only for a while
|
So I want you to smile
|
