Her eyes they tell me of great grief
And sorrow fills her brow
But as her eyes meet mine they see
Something worth smiling for

This smile is genuine I know
For life's been tough on her
But as that smile it fills her eyes
I catch a glimpse of hope

It makes me wonder
What it may be that she sees in me
Is this the only smile she's got
Ever since life went awry

Or is it Christ that shines in me
Telling her to hold on
That life's not over and its true
Greater things are still to come

I do not know what my smile did
As she looked into my eyes
She drove away and all I could see
Is a yellow cab, a smiling girl
With sorrow far away
