Country Lyrics "See You Smile"

I've had my ups and downs

Just like anybody else

But when I get to thinking

I only blame myself

I'd take back the pain I caused

To friends and family

I continue to make the changes

That start inside of me

I try to listen more

Try to be a better man

Spend time with my wife and kids

As much as I can

Give out a helping hand

To all those in need

Because in the end

It means so damn much to me

CHROUS

So I raise my head high

Take the frown off my face

I take a good look around

Everything fits in place

In all that you do

You make it all worthwhile

I get the most in life

When I see you smile

Its been a long journey

I've came a long way

Now here I stand

A better friend today

If I ever caused you pain

I sincerely apologize

Because I never meant to bring

Any tears to your eyes

I hope you know I've changed

I have so much more to prove

And I'll believe in you my dear

Believe in everything you do

CHORUS

So I raise my head up high

Take the frown off my face

I take a good look around

Everything fits in place

In all that you do

You make it all worthwhile

I get the most in life

When I see you smile

This song only has two verses. I never added a bridge to it, but I may later. This is a song that I wrote to my wife to show the appreciation I have for her. I want to make her happy and I literally get happiness from seeing a smile on her face. For those that don't really know me, I have went through a lot in life. I caused nearly all of the pain I felt by the choices that I made. I am living proof that anyone can change, no matter the situation you are in. Having faith in the Lord is a start.

Truth is, we all make mistakes and we all choose the wrong paths in life. Including myself, sometimes we choose many different wrong paths. It may take some time to find the right path again. When we make those mistakes, it is our responsibility to learn from them and correct them.

I was lucky to find a person that loves me truly. She is my strength and my reason in life. When you find meaning in your life, it gives you plenty to live for. My wife gave me meaning and over time, I learned that many things give us personal meaning, such as God, my children, family, and friends. Help one another when you can. We are all servants of the Lord. He loves us faithfully and he showed how much when he gave up his only son. That deep love is what brings joy and happiness. Thank you for reading my song and God Bless.
