Jim Dixon ADD:That's Enough for Me/If I could make you smile (3) RE: Lyr Req: If I could make you smile 19 Mar 24


Maybe this is the song Bill had in mind (25 years ago!):


THAT’S ENOUGH FOR ME
Paul Williams
As recorded by Paul Williams on “Just an Old Fashioned Love Song,” 1971.

1. If I can make you cry,
If I can fill your eyes will pleasure just by holding you,
In the early hours of morning,
When the day that lies ahead's not quite begun,

CHORUS: Well, now, that's enough for me.
That's all the hero I need be.
I smile to think of you and me, you and I,
And how our pleasure makes you cry.

2. If I can make you smile,
If I can move you close to laughter with a word or two,

When your day's been filled with strangers,
And the castles that you've built all tumble down, CHORUS

BRIDGE: And when the world has got me down,
And I've almost lost the will to try,
I may look sad and I may frown,
But I still find comfort in
Your waiting, your hello, and your goodbye,
And how our pleasure makes you cry.

3. And when I wake to you,
And I pretend that I don't know how you've been watching me
All the time that I lay sleeping,
By the loving look that lingers in your eyes, CHORUS

OUTRO: That's enough for me
Enough for me
That's enough for me
