She Smiles Like A River

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 wisphers 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

Take a little weight off me

She helps to take

Take a little weight off me
