"And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world."
From Your Song
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
When the sun smiles at the earth
Life springs in technicolor.
When you smile,
A cascade of pearls and stars
Comes down singing to my heart.
In a way, your smile is a life-giving sun
That can light the world around you,
That can beat my moodiness
And lighten my load today.
I thank you for your smiling
When you're happy or excited,
But even more those times when
You don't feel like it,
When your mind is heavy with worries
In rough times,
Or rainy days,
Those sad occasions when they deceived you,
Disappointed you,
Abandoned you, or made you mad....
And you smiled still...
I just want you to know that
My day is lighter and brighter
When your smile sparkles in your eyes,
Plays in your hands, floats in your words,
And dances in your walk.
Your smile is a precious gem to treasure
Has no price, but makes you richer,
With friends 'cause it's the key to their hearts;
With life 'cause it's good to your health;
With beauty 'cause it softens your wrinkles!
And if you're ever troubled by life's thunderstorms,
Some rocks on the road,
Those moody mornings,
Or the scratches from the past,
Handle them with a smile in your heart!
Because life is too short and hard
To take it seriously.
Because money, things and people
come and go too easily,
Because all is left in the end is You...
So, smile! 😄
