about

You Make Me Smile was a song I wrote a while prior to the making of this album. It was originally intended to be used in a band that I have been playing in called Sound Of Revival. We chose not to use the song because it was a little out of the style we were doing at the time. You Make Me Smile was recorded originally as a pop song with a lot of synth and electronica sounds. The original song does still exist and can be found on Sound Of Revivals soundcloud account. The re-writing of the songs instrumental was turned into an indie pop sound with an all acoustic vibe.

lyrics

V1.
I'm not that good at speaking my mind
I wrote this song to put it in line
All that I've been feeling lately
I hope it doesn't come across like the same thing
(That I've been thinking in my mind)

V2.
If only I had the words to say
I'd ask it to your face
I'm simply afraid
I put this meaning in this song
In hopes that the point gets along
(But I've been thinking in my mind)

C1.
I can see you and me
In a future happily
With our own life
It'd be the best surprise
If one day you said yes
And I saw you in that white dress
Walking down the aisle
Oh, girl you make me smile

C2.
Be together always forever there
You make me smile like an idiot
But I don't care
'Cause it's from you
My one true love
I'll be there by your side
Never giving up
