INST ((guitars))

If I think I know you,
I feel you slipping far away
Like a wisp or the wind,
Ever changing, but always the same.
And you're smiling at me from a frame.
No, it doesn't make sense,
But I know you will someday.

A thousand people looking through you
They don't see themselves the way you do.
But your face says it all --
Never truthful -- but always so true.
And you're laughing at me on the plane,
For I never make sense
But I know what I'm full of.

When I know that I'm right,
Then I'm probably wrong.
And you're one of the good guys,
But you won't tell me. (oh no, no, no)
You're a missus, a mommy, and my good friend.
It's my hope you'll be happy
Until the world ends --
And I know you will be...
But I doubt that I'll see it in your smile.
So smile away, child.
You know that the world is alright.

INST MIDDLE

The respect you command is astounding,
Like a mystery that the world won't know.
You're a sphinx with long hair.
You've the secret but whisper it low.
And you're calling to us from the rain.
You're as timeless as art,
And you're equally modest.

When I know that I'm right,
Then I'm probably wrong.
And you're one of the good guys,
But you won't tell me. (oh no, no, no)
You're a missus, a mommy, and my good friend.
Teaching wisdom and whimsy
Until the world ends.
These are things that you see...
And I hope that I'll see them in your smile.
So smile away, child.
You know that the world is alright.

INST (8 BARS)
Smile away, child.
You know that the world is alright.
