Pilin' Thanks

My face has been hurtin' from how much I'm smilin' The weather's been a warm, and my thanks are pilin' The rainstorm is over, and the thunder's all gone The winds have died down, and the floods have withdrawn The way that the light in your eyes reflects off the brown It's a healthy distraction from the wild world around When we're apart, I hope that you smile When you think of the times, every once in a while And I hope that you dance, and you sing so loud Cause it's you I imagine, here in this town When it comes to joy, darling, can't you see When times get rough, we got just enough for you and me And if I begin to miss you, I'll just sing this song To remind me how much better life is, since you came along So sing along with me, and look to the stars I'll be countin' my thanks for you, wherever we are But when we're apart, well I hope that you smile When you think of the times we've spent, every once in a while And I hope that you dance, and you sing so loud Cause it's you I imagine, here in this crowd When it comes to joy, darling, can't you see When times get rough, we got just enough for you and me My face has been hurtin' From how much I'm smilin' The weather's been warm And my thanks are pilin'
