Alan Lauris - How You're Able To Smile lyrics

Music: Alan Lauris Lyrics: John Coughlan ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Show me how you're able to manage a smile While all aroud you, they're all crying Can it be that lying deep down inside There's a part of you you're denying Show me how you're able to smile Look through your eyes and I'd run a mile You make me feel just like a child Show me how you're able to smile Is it a mixture of courage and guile How can you still laugh and smile Show me how you manage to cope with it all And you can do it without falling Show me how you keep your eye on the ball Like it's your own special calling You know that's why we look up to you Why we admire the things you do No, you're never less than true Show me how you're able to grin Show me how you keep it all in It's such an amazing thing I see the eyes of the others When they stand and they look at you I see the smiles on their faces And I know what you said was true How you would make it through
