Lyrics
Written by: MARK BRINE
If you can’t stop in your busy life Then smile as you go by What with all this world’s confusion It’s a task to even try
‘Cause you know, and I do too It’s the best thing we can do
Yes, if you can’t stop in your busy day Hey, smile ‘n give a wave To somebody on the side lines‘N include them in that way
‘Cause you know, and I do too It’s the best thing we can do Spread goodwill ‘n it will Eventually come back t’ you
‘Cause to hold back is to squander The greatest gift we all can bid Yes, the inner love ‘n kindness That’s returned, when’er we give
If you can’t stop in your busy life Then smile as you go by What with all this world’s confusion You’ll be an exception if you ©2003 Mark Brine Music (BMI)
