LYRICS
No matter the tribulation
No, no matter the trial
Merely your suggestion
Brings on a mile wide smile

You saving grace
You bring a smile to my face

Under the situation
Of you playing guitar
The jubilation
Toward a smile goes far

You saving grace
You bring a smile to my face

If only the population
Would yell more, more, more
The spiritual elevation
Will bring on smiles for sure

You saving grace
You bring a smile to my face

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — E A E
Bm7 A E

Written in Ambler, PA and recorded at Fort Washington State Park in Ft. Washington, Montgomery County, PA. The live version was recorded by Jon at the Jon Sherling Studios in Mount Laural, NJ.

The inspiration came as I sat on a bench in Ambler, PA trying to think of a song to play on stage that night. When I started writing the music on an acoustic guitar, I look up and saw a face smiling back at me. This made me smile. So, I continued with the inspiration knowing the smiling faces would make me smile that night. Then, I stopped to write down some lyrics, and I heard a little voice behind me yell, “More! More! More!” It was a little girl maybe 2-3 years old. She continued chanting until I started playing again. May music bring a smile to our faces.

The sun is shining in….

The sun is shining in
On the inside
The smile is twice as wide
On the inside

The sun is shining in….

Now, a new life can begin
The sun is shining in
The smile is twice as wide
On the inside

As the sun sets on society
We question
“Hey, didn’t we have plenty?”
Why the suffering
On the outside
There’s no place to run
There’s no placed to hide
On the outside

The sun is shining in
The smile is twice as wide
On the inside

Come on join in
Come on join in
On the inside
The smile is twice as wide

The sun is shining in

Let the sun shine in
On the inside
As the sun is setting on the outside

LYRICS
If you’re feeling blue
There’s something you can do
Just turn the corner
(remember turn the corner)
Up, up, up, up, up
And, smile a while

Splash on some happiness
Let it wash over you
Overcome. Be overlord
Of the darkness

Awash in the happiness
Part of the song and dance crew
Overcome. Never board.
Smack on the lips with a happiness kiss

At the end of your lips
The corner of your lips
Do away with the dips
Turn it up a bit
