Once again I want to thank my co-writer Richard Brown for his performance on this track.
Smile to a Stranger
verse
People running round in circles, going nowhere fast
chasing down some happiness and try to make it last.
We want to have it all to find we never have the time.
Little things seem less important, we often let (th)em slide.
verse
It never was that way with Grampa, he always made me smile.
The last time that we spent together we sat and talked awhile.
He talked about my Grandma and how life used to be,
I won't forget the most important things he said to me.
chorus
(he said)
Smile to a stranger, call up an old friend
talk to the good Lord every now and again.
Don't take for granted the moments we spend,
we never know when all our tomorrows will end.
verse
Looking through a stack of photos an old one caught my eye,
a black and white of me and Grampa the day before he died
My daughter asked, "Who are those people?" I answered with a smile.
Remembering what he told me makes all my days worthwhile.
chorus
Smile to a stranger, call up an old friend,
talk to the Good Lord every now and again.
Don't take for granted the moments we spend,
we never know when all our tomorrows will end.
repeat chorus
