YOU MADE ME SMILE
Words & Music by Mark Howard Bowles
Said you would always love me;
Said you would never leave me;
Knew it wasn’t so
Knew it wasn’t so.
But you loved me for a while, for a while
you made me smile
Said when we were old and broken
that our love would go unspoken.
Thought that was sure unlikely,
But I didn’t know exactly,
But you loved me for a while, for a while
you made me smile.
Bridge:
I wasn’t the best person for you
but you were truly the best for me:
you gave me confidence; set me free.
Someday they’ll say they saw you,
with a certain “shock and awe” too;
say you were a raving beauty
Dressed up to do your duty;
and it will make me smile
‘cause you loved me for a while, for a while.
