The Girl Who Couldn't Smile

frown

Pretty rainbows and sunshine all around
puffy pillows, sleepy willows gather 'round
she sleeps in sweet peace, no cries of pain to awaken her
the skies of blue are open to
her, but she can't see, no she can't see

'Cause she's the girl who can't smile
though her life's grand as any dream she's ever dreamed
she's the girl who can't smile
though it is clear she has been given everything

Bumpy tree barks and snowflakes on the ground
starry nights and flying kites that won't touch down
pink and indigo, swirl like blankets and surround her
in a warm cocoon, but it won't be too soon before she sees
no, she just cannot see

'Cause she's the girl who can't smile
though her life's grand as any dream she's ever dreamed
she's the girl who can't smile
though it is clear she has been given everything

A child's laughter, love ever after, she's found
steady wealth and steady health all abound
the worst of life has yet to touch her precious head
oh, be grateful for your
having more and
now can you see? the girl is me

I'm the girl who couldn't smile
and my life's grand as any dream I've ever dreamed
I'm the girl who couldn't smile
but, I see clearly, now, I've been given everything

Why did it take so long?
Why did it take so long?
But, I'm glad I'm here
I'm glad I see
I'm glad I see
that I have everything
