verse 1:
i got smiles for miles in these happy days
hear the words, and give them praise
the common choose a common high
these common parts of life mark time for me

verse 2:
i got smiles for miles in these happy days
weary world, the song it plays
fills us all with a common sigh
these common parts of life mark time for me

interlude and finale:
i got smiles for miles and miles and miles
Hear the words that give you pause:
all i want to know, my friend -
are you smiling in the end? (Are you with me in the end?)

bridge:
once i wanted to believe
it wasn't good enough for me
simple world with simple men
but there i was, i no better than

habit makes the heart content
[after passion's come and went
{may not be by your design]
but for sure i know it's mine}
