Hard Earned Smile
If faces tell stories, and I think they do There have been some hard chapters in the story of you There's some dark and some lonely in the lines 'round your eyes A thousand nights' tears, promises and lies So we sit at the diner and talk until dawn Lay it all on the table 'til the coffee's all gone All the hard people you've known and you've been Wounded and healed and opened again And you said it best when you played your guitar "From where you come isn't what you are" I can hear the song ringing out over the miles And there's nothing so true as the hope in a hard earned smile We all have our trials and our lessons to learn If your dreams are on fire then your heart might get burned But to choose to be strong and have courage to heal Lends truth to your song and the hope that I feel And you said it best when you played your guitar "From where you come isn't what you are" I can hear the song ringing out over the miles And there's nothing so true as the hope in a hard earned smile Aus Songtexte Mania
