To Make You Smile Again

by Melissa Manchester

on Don't Cry Out Loud (1978)

Somebody's been cryin'
Cryin' far too long
So I sat down hoping
There was something for this song

To make you smile again
Oh, how I would long to see you happy
To find that extra something to believe in
You've been there before
So it's only a smile away

Until you laugh again
Just to really feel one day completely
Tell me what it takes
And if you really, if you really need me
To make all your grey skies blue today

Sometimes you find that in forgiving
You can mend a broken heart
But somehow you're afraid to turn around
And see there's someone who feels like you

Who wants to smile again
It's not so long ago we share forever
Everybody goes through stormy weather
But together there is a lifetime
To see it through
And if you would just smile again
I'll start smilin' too

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...
Yeah

Oh-oh, oh-oh, ah-ah...

Oh-oh-oh...
Sometimes you find that in forgiving
You can mend a broken heart
Oh, somehow you're afraid to turn around
To see there's someone who feels like you

Who wants to laugh again
It's not so long ago we share forever
Everybody goes through stormy weather
But together there is a lifetime
To see it through
If you would just smile again
I'll start smilin' too

I'll start smilin' too
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...

Smile for me, smile for me
Smile, smile
Won't you smile for me, yes, smile
Oh-oh-oh-oh, there it comes again
Whoo-ooh-ooh...
