Look Back Smiling

[Verse 1]
When time creeps up, whispers in your ear
Tells you all the things only the older souls hear
I want you, head held high
With a fire in your heart and a pride deep in your eyes

[Refrain]
Smiling
Smiling
Smiling

[Verse 2]
When the last of the leaves are falling from the tree
And you're on the last lines of your page in history
I want you to have given your all
To say that you got back up after every single fall

[Pre-Chorus]
When the lights stop shining, there's no rewinding
Life's as fast as lightening

[Chorus]
So when you look back, look back smiling
Look back smiling
When you look back, look back smiling
Look back smiling

[Verse 3]
When there's more road behind you than there is up front
When the hunter in your heart has almost finished up the hunt
I want you like a man untamed
Like a lion in the wild looking over his domain

[Refrain]
Smiling
Smiling
Smiling

[Verse 4]
When you're on the last rotation going 'round this sun
Steady as she goes on a journey almost done
I want you to have had more than your fill
To have taken every chance, the way I know you will

[Pre-Chorus]
When the lights stop shining, there's no rewinding
Life's as fast as lightening

[Chorus]
So when you look back, look back smiling
Look back smiling
When you look back, look back smiling
Look back smiling

[Bridge]
When you look back, look back smiling
When you look back, look back smiling
When you look back, look back smiling

[Pre-Chorus]
When the lights stop shining, there's no rewinding
Life's as fast as lightening

[Chorus]
So when you look back, look back smiling
Look back smiling
When you look back, look back smiling
Look back smiling
When you look back, look back smiling
Look back smiling
When you look back, look back smiling
Look back smiling
When you look back, look back smiling

[Outro]
Smiling, smiling
