Title: I Miss Your Smile


You gave away books to kids who had none
Built libraries where there were none
Said the way you look is just the way you look
But the heart underneath was what truly shook

And I never got to tell you what you meant to me
How your voice could reach across the years and set me free
Now the radio plays your songs but you're not there
And the world's a little colder now that you're not here

I miss your songs and I miss your smile
You made the broken feel worthwhile
Rhinestones and rainbows and real as the earth
The truest voice that ever had worth

They underestimated you from the start
Blonde hair and rhinestones hid a lion's heart
You owned your songs when they wanted them too
Said I'll keep my voice and my money too

And I never got to tell you what you meant to me
How your voice could reach across the years and set me free
Now the radio plays your songs but you're not there
And the world's a little colder now that you're not here

I miss your songs and I miss your smile
You made the broken feel worthwhile
Rhinestones and rainbows and real as the earth
The truest voice that ever had worth

So take your place among the stars you earned
The rhinestones fade but the fire never burned
You gave us everything you had to give
And that's the only way you ever lived

I miss your songs and I miss your smile
You made the broken feel worthwhile
Rhinestones and rainbows and real as the earth
The truest voice that ever had worth

Thank you for every song
Thank you for every dawn
You were everything you wanted to be
And everything you were to me
