Verse.
I know we’ve been here before but it still feels like the first time. It doesn’t come out easy anymore just like it used to. I promise myself that tomorrow I will work a little harder when tomorrow is today I will slowly start smiling.
Chorus
Cos when you smile, the world is gonna smile back at you, and when you laugh, the people dem a gonna laugh with you, and when you move, the world is gonna open up to you. When you smile, the world is gonna smile back at you.
Verse.
I tell myself I am not alone feeling all these feelings, and that every body has their ups and downs and all them tearing’s.
I tell myself how it’s gonna be ok if I try a little harder. Now, tomorrow is today, so I slowly start smiling.
Chorus
Cos when you smile, the world is gonna smile back at you, and when you laugh, the people dem a gonna laugh with you, and when you move, the world is gonna open up to you. When you smile, the world is gonna smile back at you.
Bridge.
Hmmm
