There's candle wax on the carpet
A muted movie on the TV screen
Your pretty little cheeks all painted black
From the things that you believe
You know there's no good reason
You've just been thinking
and the wine is strong
Another long hot summer night
And you're tired of being alone
Well pick yourself up off your knees
Wipe off that new dress
Think about the days to come
and do what you do best
Let me see you
You could let up this whole town
Smile, claim you're lost and found
Tell me it was all worthwhile
You've cried those brown eyes dry
Let me see you smile
Pack up all those memories,
a few more days and you'll be gone
Those yellow lines and black top
will lead you back into my arms
Stay so long, it's almost over,
it's almost time so just be strong
You know that you right here with me
is right where you belong
Cover up that rear view
and lift your foot up off the brake
I'll be right here waiting
until we're standing face to face
Let me see you smile,
baby when you smile
You could light up this whole town
Smile, claim you're lost and found
Tell me it was all worthwhile
You cried those brown eyes dry
Oh, I think it's finally time
Smile, baby, when you smile
You could light up this poor town
Smile, claim you're lost and found
Tell me it was all worthwhile
You've cried those brown eyes dry
Oh, I think it's finally time
Let me see you smile
Let me see you smile
