Wrote this song recently. It could use some more instrumentation, I think.

Lyrics:

For Having Seen Your Smile
by Elle Lipson

So many people pass me
Not noticing each other, they just blankly stare
It takes no time to offer
A simple and contagious bit of joy to share

My heart burns for the ones
Born unable to smile, and without reasons to
Everyone deserves the chance
To see the joy you have stored up inside of you

The world will be that much brighter
For having seen your smile
Strangers will turn to friends
Because of your lifelong smile

I had a friend who taught me
The way to really know someone is to make them laugh
A grin spreads across a face
A feeling of rejoicing in each photograph

I want you to have the chance
To win the whole world over with the love you have
A smile of assurance
Tells others that you truly want to make them glad

bridge
Glad to be alive (x3)
Glad to see that

The world will be that much brighter
For having seen your smile
Strangers will turn to friends
Because of your lifelong smile

The world will be that much brighter
For having seen your smile
And I will always be grateful
For how you make me smile
