If you want to see a grown man cry,
A smile is all it takes
To recall the way you said goodbye
And how my poor heart breaks
Every time I see you standing there
And I’m not by your side,
Because a smile is all it takes to make me cry.
I saw you walking down the street,
And then you looked my way.
I wondered if we should chance to meet,
Would I be able to say
That I’m not ready to see you smile.
If you’ll listen, I’ll tell you why,
Because a smile is all it takes to make me cry.
Yes, a smile is all it takes to bring those tears,
And even now, my poor heart breaks
When I remember all those years.
After all you’ve put me through,
It should come as no surprise
That a smile is all it takes to make me cry.
So girl, before you smile at me,
I’ll ask this of you.
Please try to take the time to see
Things from my point of view.
I don’t mean to upset you.
You know I’ll never even try,
But a smile is all it takes to make me cry.
