Before you run off to school, come cry in my lap
We've gotta have a chat, you see
I've been through what you're going through, I promise it's true
So listen carefully, and it won't be long for me
To lay out my plea, so babe, listen please
Smile in the morning, crawl back to heaven, child I won't ever let you go
Things make you sorry, I understand it, darling No one would ever let you know
And it won't take long for you to see
That life's not laid out like it should be
And it won't take long for you to know
Finally you know you're in love
Now that I've finished, please don't forget about me I could never forget you
Though life makes you sorry, I understand it, darling
Nothing worth fighting for is easy
And I need you to see what you mean to me And this world
Smile in the morning, life is worth mourning, darling I could never love you more
Now and forever, on from this moment, darling
You'd best repeat it every day
Cause it won't take long, you'll have kids of your own
They gotta hear it
Smile in the morning, love lasts forever, darlings
Now is the time you need to know
Though life makes you sorry, don't let it change you, babies
We all learn to let things go
And we love you, and all your beauty, too
And I love you, I hope you have a good day at school
