Keep Smiling – March 1998

Keep Smiling

keep smiling
through every disaster
you play your cards
you take a chance
if it all goes wrong
no need for crying
keep smiling
keep laughing
I had to laugh
left there with my drink
at the bar
she’d lent on my shoulder
put her arms around me
whispered in my ear
‘I have a boyfriend’
I had to laugh
kept on smiling
broke into laughing
turned away from my kisses
but I kept smiling
keep smiling
keep laughing





James Garratt – March 1998
