It's All Right
It's all right if I now smile
Even though all the miles
Do come between us and I know I'll keep right on hurting longer for awhile
Still it's all right to smile
It's all right when I grin
Even if I don't know just quite where to begin
I know however, not to always keep happiness hidden
So I set the pain aside and let contentment for the moment in
I know it's all right to grin
It's all right to break down and cry
Even if I don't want to and not to is what I so very much try
Sometimes tears just need to fall so one can remember the reasons why
They keep putting their heart and soul on the line
So yes, at times, it's all right to cry
It's all right to have the thoughts of you dance all around inside my head
Even if there's someone else besides me laying next to you in your bed
Those moments and memories we share in together has taken up permanent residence and
these rough waters I will continue to tread
It's all right to keep the memories of you here in my head
It's all right to listen to all those sad songs
Even if to find no tears falling anymore when I do I realize now that's not wrong
And I whole heartedly believe I truly know in your arms is where I belong
It's perfectly all right to hear those sad songs
In everything I have done and in all I do
Fate has this way of always bringing me right back to you
I've found nothing but the hurt, tears, and pain now for so long
But in everything I still can't let you go
Because of the love I feel for you deeply so
In my mind I've made a compromise which is this
I can listen to the sad songs that I so much love
But I have to remember to think of you as I look to God above
I can keep the moments and memories in my head
So long as I don't think I'm ok when in reality it's only pretend
I can find myself crying
Just have to keep on trying
Stop feeling like I'm dying
And quit all that damn sighing
I can give in and let myself grin
Just as long as I remember one day soon I maybe the one he lets again in
But the most important compromise is
When I once again and often think of you
And I let myself be reminded for all the while
It's really all right to always smile
