  • You were born with a smile on your face
    And it's been there everyday
    When you cry I remind you
    That I'm never goin' away
    That I'm here by your side
    Until you send me away
    When you're a hundred thousand years, you say
    'Til then I have to stay

    And when we walk out hand in hand
    And you tell me about your day
    Nothing else matters
    But all you have to say
    And when you wake up far too early
    It's a chance to start again
    And I don't know what will happen
    But I know I want to stay

    And if the light turns to darkness
    And your face might turn away
    When your words don't sound as sweet anymore
    I'll listen to what you say
    And when you're pushing me and telling me
    I still won't walk away
    Yes, I don't know what will happen
    But I know I have to stay

    'Cause that's what love is, darling
    I'm here as long as you need
    When you show you're okay on your own
    I'll smile and leave
    'Cause that's what love is, darling
    And I'm here as long as you need
    When you show you're okay on your own
    I'll smile and leave
    I'll smile and leave Writer/s: Florian Cloud De Bounevialle Armstrong, Ryan John Laubscher
