Story Behind the Song
Used to see this girl in this bar everynight. Used watch the way she moved, night after night. Watched her for weeks. Got up the nerve to speak to her one night. Biggest mistake of my life. Ended up briefly married to her. Some things are better left at a distance. By the way, the song was written before I ever talked to her.
Lyrics
Behind the Smile (Hayes)
I met an angel, an outcast from the clouds
She's like a silent film star, the way she speaks without a sound
She just ain't anyone
It's in the way she moves around
She's like an angel, an outcast from the clouds
I was a lonely dreamer, just lost out on that road
I almost lost myself out there, as I carried a heavy load
But when I stopped to unpack the things
The things that dragged me down
I looked up and I saw her there
Like she fell out from the clouds
We don't need no wings now baby
To set our dreams on high
This world is for the taking
It's gotta come from inside
So hold onto your smile now baby, if you open your eyes
You will find your heaven on earth before you head up to the sky
I met an angel, in a crowded smoked filled bar
She had a smile so bright, she shined just like a star
I had seen her in there, before a couple times
And I just wanted to find out, what hides behind that smile
