I was hanging by a thread
I thought that I was good as dead
But you were there, you never let me fall
You never let me down

Was falling into blue
But now I'm falling into you
Was almost gone, was almost swept away
But I'm back down on the ground

So before you go
Need to let you know
That our lives may change
'cause nothing ever stays the same
Though miles apart
you'll be in my heart
Though the face may fade
All those memories remain

So smile on me and say goodbye
I'll smile right back through these tears in my eyes
A hundred years or a million miles
When I think of you, well baby I will smile
Oh yea, ooh
I will smile, baby, I will smile

Do you remember when
We used to lie awake in bed
We used to laugh, 'cause we didn't care
It was us against the world

I always thought be
Right here, forever holding me
But I was wrong, now you're leaving me
And I don't know where to turn

But before you go
Need to let you know
That your face may fade
But my heart will never change

So smile on me and say goodbye
I'll smile right back through these tears in my eyes
A hundred years or a million miles
When I think of you, well baby I will smile
Oh yea, ooh
I will smile, baby, I will smile

I can still, still taste you on my lips
I can still feel you driving me wild
You know I'm always gonna love you
But I gotta find a way to smile

I can still, still taste you on my lips
I can still feel you driving me wild
You know I'm always gonna love you
But baby I gotta smile

So smile on me and say goodbye
I'll smile right back through these tears in my eyes
A hundred years or a million miles
When I think of you, well baby I will smile
Oh yea, ooh
I will smile, baby, I will smile
