Baby hair with a woman’s eyes
I can feel you watching in the night
All alone with me and we’re waiting for the sunlight
When I feel cold you warm me
And when I feel I can’t go on, you come and hold me
It’s you and me forever

Sara, smile
Smile awhile for me, Sara

If you feel like leaving you know you can go
But why don’t you wait until tomorrow
And if you want to be free
You know all you got to do is say so
When you feel cold I’ll warm you
And when feel you can’t go on
I’ll come and hold you
It’s you and me forever

Sara, smile
Oh, won’t you smile awhile for me, Sara
Sara, smile
Oh, won’t you smile awhile, Sara

Smile awhile
Oh, won’t you smile awhile for me, Sara
Oh, smile awhile
Won’t you laugh, Sara
Thank you for making me feel like a man
Keeping me crazy, crazy
Smile awhile
