When You Smile

As winter wears on, musician Patrick Dexter reminds us to let moments of connection brighten our lives.

All it takes is a smile...

When You Smile
By Patrick Dexter

I took a walk
Feeling lonesome
Down the hallways of my mind

I met a girl there
Eyes like sapphires
She turned to me and she smiled

And my whole word was shaken
All my blues fading away
Now the sunshine was blinding
And I couldn't remember the rain

When she smiled…

A woman driving
A bright red sports car
Down the fast lane of her mind

She sees a young girl
Eyes like rainbows
Turns to her and she smiles

And her whole word was shaken
All her blues fading away
Now the sunshine was blinding
And she couldn't remember the pain

When she smiled…

A young man strolling
World on his shoulders
Down the highway of his mind

He sees and old man
Eyes look familiar
Turns to him and smiles

And his whole word is shaken
All his blues fading away
Now the sunshine was blinding
He couldn't remember the pain

When he smiled…

It can take a moment
It’s where kindness starts
Smile, mend a broken heart

When you smile
