Lyrics Smile - Barenaked Ladies

Smile

When we were young we got too old
We never did what we were told
I can have, and I can hold
But I can’t buy what I just sold
Smile, won’t you?
Won’t you smile?
Haven’t seen it for a while
Stay, won’t you?
Won’t you stay?
I don’t mean that that way
We had fun, so time went fast
If you don’t hop on, it goes right past
The water’s high, it’s overcast
You’re a rotten egg if you’re in last
Love, tell me that I’m wrong, and I’ll leave you with this song
But please do come along, and bring your smile with you
So raise a glass to all that’s good
To everything that we withstood
There’ll be walls, but I think we could
Knock 'em down for firewood
