THIS MORNING I PICKED UP THE PAPER
I READ ABOUT TRAGEDY
STOPPED AND I REALIZED THAT IT COULD'VE BEEN ME
THAT COULD'VE BEEN MY MOTHER
OR MAYBE EVEN MY BIG BROTHER
BUT YOU KEPT THEM JUST LIKE YOU KEPT ME

CHORUS: I WANNA TELL YOU THAT
GOD HAS SMILED ON ME
HE HAS SET ME FREE
GOS HAS SMILED ON ME
AND HE'S BEEN GOOD TO ME
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/m/mary+mary/god+has+smiled+on+me_20203838.html ]
NOW I'VE BEEN THROUGH SOME THINGS THAT
I THOUGHT WERE UNNECESSARY
WERE AFRAID TOO MUCH TO CARRY ALL BY MYSELF
YOU GAVE ME THE STRENGTH TO MAKE IT
THOUGH I THOUGHT I COULDN'T TAKE IT
FEELS SO GOOD TO KNOW THAT YOU CARE
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH

REPEAT CHORUS

SO GLAD I KNOW YOU
SO GLAD YOU'RE MY FRIEND
WHENEVER I NEED YOU YOU'RE ALWAYS HERE
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE SO GOOD TO ME
BUT YOU KEEP ON SMILING

REPEAT CHORUS
