Chorus:

Why is that smile upon your face

When it's such a rainy day

Why are you so happy?

What do you know that I don't know?

I wish I did but ain't been told

So tell me, what's your secret?



I met a girl the other day at the supermarket

Ringing up all of my things

She had the strangest look upon her face

Wish you could have been there

Just to see the way she looked at me

Thought I must look crazy something out of place

But paid it no attention

Just kept going with my business

I looked up because she stepped into my space

Saw pain in her eyes

Her question took me by surprise she said



I didn't have the faintest clue where to begin

So I asked some questions (just to see what I was dealing with)

She told me where she was and where it was she'd been

What an awful tale life hadn't done her well

She had thoughts of leaving



Bridge:

(Before you go) let me tell my story

(Once like you, you know) all guts and no glory

(But now I have joy) the reason why

Who's in my life

That is why you're asking me



See the moral of the story is the whole world's watching you

So be careful what you say and be careful what you do

Never know when it will be your time to show someone the way

So be a guiding light and shine so they'll say
