You're still the best person I ever knewThere were a thousand little things that I was alwaysJust about to say to youBut now that time, it grows shorterFor the speeches, just let me leave you with a lineThat might help you pass the time, sometimesYou might as well smile, ain't no tears gonna drown the rainKeeps on falling, you might as well smileAin't no pain gonna change what still remainsYou might as well regain, babeYour lost serenity, serenityThen shine it on me, shine it on meI remember times when you held meYou'd freeze my spineWe were looking in the mirror at the timeI got confused and I thought your eyes were mineBut now that time, it grows shorterFor the secrets, just let me leave you with some truthMight help you hold on, to your youth sometimesYou might as well smile, ain't no tears gonna drown the rainKeeps on falling, you might as well smileAin't no pain gonna change what still remainsYou might as well maintain, babeProtect your sanity, your sanityThen shine it on me, shine it on meShine it on me, shine it on me*
