Searching For My Smile

(album: A Friend To Rely On - 1992)

When my friends all ask me
What's that far away look in your eye
I guess they sense that there's something missing
It makes me stop and wonder why
Why this world can feel so lonely
Even when I'm standing in a crowd
Cause I'm always thinking about you
Sometimes I speak your name out loud
Well if you only knew what I'm going through
I'm not the same without you

I've been searching for my smile
Been looking high and low
No laughter anywhere no matter where I go
I just can't seem to find no joy, no peace of mind
Each time I reminisce I feel loneliness
And I'm searching for my smile
Been looking high and low
It vanished from my face I thought that you might know
Just where I should be looking
Somehow I felt you knew cause that last time I saw it
I was with you
Yeah, I was with you

Each time I pass that cafe
I see two lovers just like you and I (two lovers)
There holding hands at our favorite table
It hurts so bad I walk on by
So many miles have come between us
But I know that I still feel the same (I still feel)
Cause I can't stop talking about you
All the people around me complain
Well if they only knew what I'm going through
I just can't live without you

I've been searching for my smile
Been looking high and low
No laughter anywhere no matter where I go
I just can't seem to find no joy, no peace of mind
Each time I reminisce I feel loneliness
And I'm searching for my smile
Been looking high and low
It vanished from my face I thought that you might know
Just where I should be looking
Somehow I felt you knew cause that last time I saw it
I was with you

Last time I saw it (last time I saw it)
I've been searching for my smile
Been looking high and low
No laughter anywhere no matter where I go
I just can't seem to find no joy, no peace of mind
Each time I reminisce I feel loneliness
And I'm searching for my smile
Been looking high and low
It vanished from my face I thought that you might know
Just where I should be looking
Somehow I felt you knew cause that last time I saw it
I was with you
(Searching)

I've been searching
I was with you
