Story Behind The Song

I was going through a particularly troubling time, when I realized that there was so much to be grateful for. So I gathered my soul, shook it upside down, and out came a traveling band and a choir of circus clowns :)

Lyrics

Good Reason to Smile by Richard Sokolow

Intro
Smile
Smile
Sun is on its way, it's a brand new day for dreaming
Verse 1
I kicked off my shoes
Played some slide guitar
I wrote a song to lose these blues and faded scars
Now I feel like a melody, floating on top of the world
Where blue skies never fade away
When I take life slowly everything's OK
Brighter than a summer's day, so
Chorus
Smile (do-do-do-do)
Smile (ba-ba-ba-do)
Sun is on its way, it's a brand new day
And I got good reason, good reason to
Smile (do-do-do-do)
Smile (ba-ba-ba-do)
Can you see my face, it's another day for dreaming
Verse 2
I gathered my soul
Shook it upside down
And out came a traveling band, and a choir of circus clowns
They were singing in harmony, each word loud and true
That we all share the air we breathe
When I have faith it's easy to believe
That we're just one big family, so
Chorus
Smile (do-do-do-do)
Smile (ba-ba-ba-do)
Sun is on its way, it's a brand new day
And I got good reason, good reason to
Smile (do-do-do-do)
Smile (ba-ba-ba-do)
Can you see my face, it's another day for dreaming
Bridge
When I linger in a long embrace
See the love in every face
I'll stand up when the music plays
I'm thankful for the sunny days
So build your ladder to the sky
Make a wish and let your colors fly
It's time to get ready
Cause we all got reason to smile
Chorus
Outro
Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do, smile
Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do, smile
Smile
