A Thousand Smiles

Shall I tell you a story A story of a poor little boy A little boy who met a little girl with a thousand smiles He named each one of her smiles He filled his room with her pictures When she left there was nothing left but a thousand smiles He held her tightly the last minute before goodbye This is what he whispered “There's nothing I will forget nothing I won't forgive I never thought I'd come to this Can't you see Nothing I can regret Nothing I won't miss but I can hide it for now 'cause you gave me a thousand ways to smile" It occurred a dozen years later The next day was his 23rd birthday His idle life ended up in shooting a girl He cursed his whole lost life in a tiny concrete cage He looked around and found there's nothing left in his hands He held himself tightly the last minute before goodbye This is what he whispered “There's nothing I will forget nothing I won't forgive I never thought I'd come to this Can't you see Nothing I can regret Nothing I won't miss but I can hide it for now 'cause you gave me a thousand ways to smile" He held himself tightly in front of the gallows This is what he whispered “Nothing I will forget Nothing I won't forgive I never thought I'd come to this Can't you see Nothing I can regret Nothing I won't miss but I can hide it for now 'cause you gave me a thousand ways to smile" “Nothing I will forget nothing I won't forgive I never thought I'd come to this Can't you see Nothing I can regret Nothing I won't miss but I can hide it for now 'cause you gave me a thousand ways to smile so I'm alright"
