[Verse 1]
I saw a man at the feed store
Head down, same worn boots
Rain on his coat like trouble
Carried in from the road
I had a dime and a kind old thought
Mama used to say, son, true
If you see someone needs a smile
You know what to do
[Pre-Chorus]
So I tipped my hat
Said, hey there, friend
He looked back slow
Like he might break then
I gave him a grin
And it lit his face
[Chorus]
If you see someone
Who needs a smile
Give them one of yours
For a little while
Give them one of yours
Let it ride on through
A borrowed smile
Looks good on you
(looks good on you)
[Verse 2]
At the diner by the highway
A waitress near her end
Coffee cups and tired eyes
Trying hard to mend
I slid her a joke and a warm hello
She laughed before the fryers cried
Then the whole place felt a little lighter
Like the sun walked inside
[Pre-Chorus]
And a cracked front seat
Can hold a song
A hard luck day
Won't last too long
One good smile
Can turn it around
[Chorus]
If you see someone
Who needs a smile
Give them one of yours
For a little while
Give them one of yours
Let it ride on through
A borrowed smile
Looks good on you
(looks good on you)
[Bridge]
My old daddy said
When the world runs cold
Kindness ain't grand
But it's pure gold
It don't cost much
Just a little time
And you get it back
Every single time
[Final Chorus]
If you see someone
Who needs a smile
Give them one of yours
For a little while
Give them one of yours
Let it ride on through
A borrowed smile
Looks good on you
Give them one of yours
That's the thing to do
A borrowed smile
Looks good on you
(looks good on you)
