Alistair M. Cowan lyrics

Easier to Smile

She has children at her knees,
And bruises easily,
And this she hides.
Because it's easier to smile than to cry.

When in company,
She'll be the brightest star,
That shines in the sky,
Because it's easier to smile than to cry.

Each time she says is the last time,
And that she will go.
Each time feels like the worst time,
But she won't let it show.

She has all the finest clothes,
And wears her make-up well,
And ask her why,
She'll say it's easier to smile than to cry,
Because it's easier to smile than to cry,
It's easier to smile,
Easier to smile than to cry.

It's easier to smile than to cry.
