This song was recorded in Longview Texas as New Heights
with the help of high school band kids, lots of friends,
and young cousins as the children's choir.
We had a blast.
lyrics
You taught me how to smile
you taught me how to laugh
you taught how to sing through
every circumstance
and i laugh and i try
to always find the things
that make your heart happy
and i smile and sing
even when i don't
feel like grinning and bearing
you say isnt there just something
you're forgetting
I taught you how to smile
I taught you how to laugh
I taught you how to sing through
every circumstance
and you laughed and you tried
to always find the things that make My heart happy
so smile and sing with me
you make me smile
you make me laugh
you make me sing through
every circumstance
and i laugh and i try to
always find the things that make your heart happy
'cause the things that make your heart happy
make me smile and sing
