[from the vault.]

just keep smiling, don’t even blink
you’ll make it through
but don’t stop to think

thought you wanted it this way, this was your dream come true
prince charming, big house, a child too
who’d of known it would come to this,
but tomorrow’s another day and this will all be a dream,
so let it all out, go ahead and scream

just keep smiling, don’t even blink
you’ll make it through
but don’t stop to think

he’s gone but he’s still there
it’s amazing how short it is and how it’s never fair
you’ve got parties and games and you must go on
for your sake pull it together, let a new life dawn
tomorrow’s another day and this isn’t a dream,
so let it all out, go ahead and scream

just keep smiling, don’t even blink
you’ll make it through
don’t stop to think

how much more can you give, what else’ve you got
unlimited texting, progress for naught
ups and downs in the dead of the nights
just remember i’m here when the dog bites
tomorrow’s another day and it’s okay to dream,
so let it all out, go ahead and scream

you just keep smiling, don’t even blink
you’ll make it through
don’t stop to think

it’s okay to feel.
