Lyrics
Baby hair with a woman’s eyes
I can feel you watching in the night
All alone with me and we’re waiting for the sunlight
When I feel cold, you warm me
And when I feel I can’t go on
You come and hold me
It’s you and me forever
Sara, smile
Oh, won’t you smile awhile for me, Sara
If you feel like leaving, you know you can go
But why don’t you stay until tomorrow?
If you wanna be free
You know all you got to do is say so
And when you feel cold, I’ll warm you
And when you feel you can’t go on
I’ll come and hold you
It’s you and me forever
Sara, smile
Oh, won’t you smile awhile for me, Sara
Sara, smile
Oh, won’t you smile awhile, Sara
Smile
Oh, won’t you smile awhile for me, Sara
Oh, smile awhile
Won’t you laugh, Sara
So thank you for making me, make me feel like a man
Not keeping me crazy, crazy
Smile awhile, oh
