David O’Dowda
Smile
Somebody watches everyone
And dries the skin right off your back
And cleans the lining of your drawers
And seeks to watch while you look back
Daises watch and maidens laugh
While silvers try to win them back
Colors pass into the room
Give the gold a mighty whack
‘Cause life loves beauty
The stars still shine
Every time I look at you I smile

I smile
Ah
I smile

So people scared and people fear
While doors are locked no villains here
And fisherman will sit and have a drink
On Backpool beach’s pier
‘Cause life loves beauty
The stars still shine
Every time I look at you I smile
