Johnathan East We're Not Smiling Anymore
There’s a picture in our bedroom
Just hangin’ on the wall
Of a mighty, happy couple
Without a care at all
And how are they to know, just what tomorrow holds in
store
‘Cause there’s a diamond ring just sittin’
On the dresser by the bed
Beside a stack of divorce papers, here
That I still haven’t read
And the room feels awful empty now
‘Cause we’re not smiling anymore.
(Chorus)
A picture tells a thousand words, it’s plain to see
this is the end
Lord, it breaks my heart to know, we’ll never feel this
way again
I hear a stillness in the air, mixed with the slamming
of the door
I’ll burn the pictures one by one
‘Cause we’re not smiling anymore.
There’s one from our senior prom
What a crazy time we had
And a couple of our wedding
Standin’ with your mom and dad
And this one here of you, on the morning our first
child was born
I can’t really tell you now, just where things went
wrong
Girl, it kills me just to think of how I’m gonna get
along
And I just can’t quite understand
Why we’re not smiling anymore.
(Repeat Chorus)
I’ll burn the pictures one by one
‘Cause we’re not smiling anymore.
There’s a picture in our bedroom
Just hangin’ on the wall
Of a mighty, happy couple
Without a care at all.
