Every Time I See You Smile — Chris Rea

Sat out a card game in a motel room

Dont let the muzak drive you crazy late at night

They tell me its all part of the deal Im in

Well I close my eyes, put memory into sight

Every time I see you smile

Now the lady tabs your case, leaves you thinking

An hour or so: I hope shes right on time

And you dream away your touchdown destination

Now single file and put yourself back in line

But oh, every time I see you smile

Now this old world dont give much for choosing

You can spend a lifetime driving yourself wild

But I can take its punches laughing - dont mind losing

Just as long as I get to see you smile every once in a while
