Story Song

Title: Just To See You Smile
Artist: Tim McGraw

Lyrics:
You always had an eye for things that glittered
But I was far from bein made of gold
I dont know how that I scraped up the money
I just never could quite tell you no
Just like when you were leavin amarillo
To take that new job in tennessee
And I quit mine so we could be together
I cant forget the way you looked at me

Chorus:

Just to see you smile
Id do anything
That you wanted me to
And all is said and done
Id never count the cost
Its worth all thats lost
Just to see you smile


When you said time was all you really needed
I walked away and let you have your space
Cuz leavin didnt hurt me near as badly
As the tears I saw rollin down your face
And yesterday I knew just what you wanted
When you came walkin up to me with him
So I told you that I was happy for you
And given the chance Id lie again

(repeat chorus)

Id do anything
That you wanted me to
And all is said and done
Id never count the cost
Its worth all thats lost
Just to see you smile

  1. Miss Granger,
    What a wonderfully tragic song. Excellent summary; I particularly enjoyed what you put for theme. Sometimes, you do have to let go,even when it hurts.
    Sincerely,

  2. I really like this song, and I'm gonna use it. I liked your theme, and here's one I came up with: Sometimes to be a good friend, you have to be happy for them, even if you are hurting.
