All I Ever Needed Was Your Smile

I never needed the sunlight on your face I never needed to save the human race
I never needed to hold your hand I tried to talk to you to understand
And I don’t know If you saw me tonight but I was on my knees alright
I prayed to someone I met as a child and haven’t seen for years.
Chorus:
All I ever needed was your smile
All I ever needed was your smile
All I ever needed was your smile
Thinkin’ back on Massapequa I had a wife and I couldn’t keep her
I drank and drank ‘til I had my fill and sobered up on doctor bills.
And I’m sorry about your backyard window I should have paid your dad but baby you know
It get’s so bad and I’m not like the rest when I wake up from a night like this.
Chorus:
Instrumental
Your brother told me I’d get one more chance so I went home to change my pants
I looked real good and I felt real strong and he said he was kidding all along.
And all you reporters and television men I’m gonna jump I just can’t say when
And baby I’m sorry it came to this cuz it looks so cold down there.
Chorus:
