Clara Benin - Smile lyrics

I didn't know any better
I was four years old
Just learning how to pray
But right before the end of 1998 you came

Yes we saw you coming
But nothing prepared us for what came next

You brought a different light into our lives
Oh you were something else

Oh and I won't let them steal your light
So powerful and pure and bright
You can fight off the darkness
With just one smile with just one smile

I didn't know any better
I was fifteen years old
I've forgotten how to pray

Glow in the dark stars
And classical guitars kept us sane

Yes, I am the quiet one
I've always kept it in
Yeah I've always been afraid

While I stayed in the shade
You were out dancing in the rain
You were always brave

Oh and I won't let them steal your light
So powerful and pure and bright
I lose all my worries when I see your smile
When I see your smile

Ooh ooh
Ooh

I still don't know any better
As I should by now
I'm still learning how to pray
But you were always there you watch me fall
You watch me break you always stay

Oh and I won't let them steal your light
So powerful and pure and bright
I swear there's something about your smile
Your smile

Don't let them keep you from smiling
Don't let them keep you from shining
Don't let them keep you from burning bright

Keep it bright keep the fire alive
Keep it bright let it burn inside
Keep it bright keep it bright
Keep that smile
