lyrics

Smile To A Stranger

Words and Music by Patrick O'Masters (BMI) and Richard Melvin Brown (SOCAN)

verse

People running round in circles, going nowhere fast
chasing down some happiness and try to make it last.
We want to have it all but find we never have the time.
Little things seem less important, we often let (th)em slide
.
verse

It never was that way with Grampa, he always made me smile.
The last time that we spent together we sat and talked awhile.
He talked about my Grandma and how life used to be,
I won't forget the most important things he said to me.

chorus

Smile to a stranger, call up an old friend
talk to the good Lord every now and again.
Don't take for granted the moments we spend,
we never know when all our tomorrows will end.

verse

Looking through a stack of photos an old one caught my eye,
a black and white of me and Grampa the day before he died
My daughter asked, "Who are those people?" I answered with a smile.
rememb'ring what he said to me makes all my days worthwhile

chorus

(he said)
Smile to a stranger, call up an old friend,
talk to the Good Lord every now and again.
Don't take for granted the moments we spend,
we never know when all our tomorrows will end.

repeat chorus
