Smile in the Crowd
Yearning Smiles Amidst Silence
Lyrics
You turned me away
You rejected me
Away from your actions
Turned away from your deeds
Forced by the violence
Compelled by the aggression
That always surrounds you
That consistently surrounds you
I want your special smile
I desire your unique expression of happiness
A smile in this crowd
A cheerful demeanor within this multitude
I want your special smile
I desire your unique expression of happiness
A smile in this crowd
A cheerful demeanor within this multitude
You burnt yourself out
You exhausted yourself
In that silence
In that quietness
I have to tell you
I must confess to you
I ache for you still
I long for you still
The sound of my words
The impact of my words
Is always so shocking
Is consistently startling
They get much louder
They become much louder
Each time I speak
Every time I communicate
I want your special smile
I desire your unique expression of happiness
A smile in this crowd
A cheerful demeanor within this multitude
I want your special smile
I desire your unique expression of happiness
A smile in this crowd
A cheerful demeanor within this multitude
Signals of progress
Indications of advancement
We're growing much older
We are getting much older
I'm afraid that I'll leave
I fear that I will depart
And my ache never goes
And my longing never diminishes
I want your special smile
I desire your unique expression of happiness
A smile in this crowd
A cheerful demeanor within this multitude
I want your special smile
I desire your unique expression of happiness
A smile in this crowd
A cheerful demeanor within this multitude
