about

We've all been there ... you just don't want to smile ... at least not today.
A song about sadness, but also hope and optimism.
'High above the clouds the sun is still shining'.

lyrics

I don’t want to smile today. I don’t want to smile today
My face is long, and it might just stay that way
A great big cloud came to visit yesterday
I don’t want to smile at least not today

I don’t want to laugh today. I don’t want to laugh today
My eyes don’t shine, and I don’t wanna dance or play
But there’s nothing wrong. Everything’s OK
I don’t want to laugh at least not today

But high above the clouds the sun’s still shining
When the wind starts to blow things will change

I don’t want to smile today.
I don’t want to smile … at least not today

But high above the clouds the sun’s still shining
When the wind starts to blow things will change
If those storm clouds stick around, I won’t be hiding
I’ll be singing out my heart in the rain

I don’t want to smile today. I don’t want to smile today
My face is long, and it might just stay that way
A great big cloud came to visit yesterday
I don’t want to smile at least not today
I don’t want to smile at least not today
I don’t want to smile … at least not today
