Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sun through the curtains
Toast getting cold on the plate
Running in circles
Chasing every little mistake
But then I catch my reflection
Wrinkled forehead
Crooked frown
I lift the corners just a little
And feel the day turn around
[Chorus]
When I remember to smile
The whole world softens for a while
Even the traffic sounds like a song
When I remember to smile
The heavy stuff feels light enough
And somehow it all goes on
Life is better
Better when we smile (oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
Rain on a Monday
Shoes soaked right through to my skin
Missed one more subway
Thinking
“Here we go again”
Then that stranger on the platform
Grins at me for no good cause
Suddenly we’re both just laughing
At how serious we were
[Chorus]
When I remember to smile
The whole world softens for a while
Even the traffic sounds like a song
When I remember to smile
The heavy stuff feels light enough
And somehow it all goes on
Life is better
Better when we smile (oh-oh)
[Bridge]
It’s just a little curve
A tiny change
But it flips the picture in my brain
Not every day is shining bright
Still I can light a little light (hey!)
[Chorus]
When I remember to smile
The whole world softens for a while
Even the traffic sounds like a song
When I remember to smile
The heavy stuff feels light enough
And somehow it all goes on
Life is better
Better when we smile
Life is better
Better when we smile (yeah)
Life is better
Better when we smile
