Lyric

Tales of our sorrows, they’re just a way

To walk through memories of a bygone day

Deep in our hearts, we feel them once more

Sharing the stories we’ve kept in store

Etched in the wrinkles upon your face

The passage of time leaves a gentle trace

The years that were heavy, the years that were long

Now turn into smiles, like a beautiful song

We race to tell of the struggles we’ve known

With chests puffed out, how much we’ve grown

To still be standing, to still be here

Is the greatest prize that we hold dear

The silver that shines in your hair today

Is the mark of the time that didn’t stay

All of those moments, through dark and through bright

Now turn your smile into a radiant light

Tales of misfortune, strangely enough

Are the happiest stories, made of tough stuff

Over the mountains, through valleys so deep

A harvest of joy that you get to keep

Held in your heart, and embraced by your soul

All of the pieces that made you whole

The time you’ve lived through, the lessons you’ve learned

Now bring the smile that you’ve finally earned

It’s a life well-lived

Just keep on smiling
