She Smiles Like A River - Leon Russell

Well she smiles just like a river

Rolling softly to the sea.

When she blows away my problems

She helps to take, take a little weight off me.

When she’s happy, I’m in heaven.

If she’s down, she’ll never say.

'Cause she knows I’m treading water.

Guess she feels I’m better off that way.

But when sadness overcomes me;

I’m blinded by the night,

She takes my hand and leads me to the light.

And she whispers in the morning;

she knows the words to say

To keep me looking forward to the new day.

So I try just to be her lover

And I hope she understands

When I hurt her or make her crazy

That I’m just an ordinary man.

Yeah she smiles just like a river

Flowing softly to the sea.

When she blows away my problems

She helps to take a little weight off me.
