Oooooh, aaliyah

Every once in awhile

I see her smile

It turns my day around

Girl with those eyes

Could stare through the lies

And see what your heart was saying



(Chorus:)



Think of Aaliyah

Laugh, don't cry

I know

She'd want it that way

Hey yea

When ya think of Aaliyah

Laugh, don't cry

I know

She'd want it that way



Ooooooh

Friend of a friend

Friend 'til the end

That's the kind of girl she was



Taken away 

So young

Taken away

Without a warning, oh



(Chorus:)



(Think of Aaliyah, oooh)

Laugh, don't cry

(I know)

She'd want it that way

(Hey yeah)



(When ya') think of Aaliyah, (oooh)

Laugh , don't cry

(I know)

She'd want it that way



Whoa

I know you, (I know )

And your here, (and your here)

In every day we live, (day that we live, day we live)

I know her, (I know her)

And she's here, (and I know that she's still here)

I can feel her when she sings, (ooohhh)



(Chorus 2:)



Aaliyah, (Aaliyah)

Where are you now

(Are you far away from here)

(Far away), far away

I don't think so,(I tell you I don't think so)

I think your here

Yea

Taking our tears away, 

(Shawn:) Taking our tears (away)



(Think of Aaliyah)

(Laugh, don't cry)

(She'd want it that way), she'd want it that way, (hey yea)

(When you think of Aaliyah)

(Laugh, don't cry) yeah, don't cry, don't cry

(Well I know)

She'd want it that way

(Aaliyah)
