The Hookhunters - One Smile Away Lyrics

It's hard to live in an igloo
On a Caribbean island
It's hard to be in a rotten mood
When you're smiling
Sometimes life will get you down
I know it ain't a piece of cake
But having a frown on your face all the time is a choice that you make

Today will be a great day
If I take it one step at a time
Everything will be OK
Don't you know that good and bad times rhyme
Need some pain to notice the sun
Need a challenge to know you've won
You can change your attitude today
'Cause happiness is one smile away

May have to wait for a high tide
To sail a ship that's been harbored
Don't need to fear the sharks on the port side
You got treasure starboard
When everything has got you down
Give your gal a kiss and get a rebound
When things are not going right
Put some music on and dance all night

Today will be a great day
If I take it one step at a time
Everything will be OK
Don't you know that good and bad times rhyme
Need some pain to notice the sun
Need a challenge to know you've won
You can change your attitude today
'Cause happiness is one smile away

Sometimes all you can do is laugh
To let happiness start again
It's only life we can't control it
We're only women and men
Be present in the here and now
Don't get stuck in the past
And don't get too used to bad times
'Cause bad times never last
Decide right now I'm gonna be happy
Decide right now I'm gonna be free
Let me show you how gotta fake it 'till you make it
When you wear a smile I think you'll agree

Today will be a great day
If I take it one step at a time
Everything will be OK
Don't you know that good and bad times rhyme
Need some pain to notice the sun
Need a challenge to know you've won
You can change your attitude today
'Cause happiness is one smile away
