A smiley flying through the air So high that I stare It's flying so close to the edge of the atmosphere And I cry 'cuz I'm just a child and my smile has disappeared You won't ask me for nothing So I try to give you everything I can Some sand, for that sea you're drowning in Yes I cry, cuz' I'm just a child and I'm feeling your pain People say I look better when I smile But it feels so good to cry So I smile every once in a while Yes I cry 'cuz I'm just a child and I'm tryin' to get it right A smile's hangin' there like a beacon in the air But a smile don't tell the truth Exposed to the wind exposed to the rain I gave that smile to you Smiley face flyin' through the air
