Feb 2022 upbeat country love happiness friendship
NOTE - this song IS SAFE for work. I ticked the wrong box and no matter how many times I untick and save it, it still keeps coming up NSFW :(
The song’s message is from one friend to another - saying I’m really happy to see you really happy once more:
EG - I have friends who have survived horrific marriages and divorces. They are now in love again.
OR 1st person is telling 2nd person that they are glad to see them happy (again) (or happier than normal), either from depression, grief, recovering from some life event or mid-life crisis, or discovering new parts of themselves.
I know I haven’t quite pulled this song off lyrically yet, as I was writing very quickly this morning in order to post this onto FAWM. I've pinged a fellow FAWMer if she wants to put it to music. Am waiting for a reply / time zones to align
That Smile Looks Good On You

V1
Dark clouds have been your companions for way too long
Your love life sounds like every country song
Your heart’s been aching for forever and a day
But there’s something’s diff’rent about you these days
Pre CH
You got a spring in your step, that I ain’t seen before
I can’t remember, the last time, you slammed all the doors
Oh!
CHORUS
You. might. find. this. hard to believe
But that smile, that smile looks good on you!!
You. might. find. this. hard to believe
That smile…. that smile…. looks good on you
Yeah-eh!
That smile…. that smile…. looks good on you
V2
I like to think I know about a thing called happiness
It was never meant to be connected to a fist
Seems like you’ve fin’lly left the darkness at the door
And decided you ain’t putting up with that no more
Pre CH
The twinkle in your eyes, is so shiny and new
I think I’m gonna like this new version of you!
Oh!
CHORUS
You. might. find. this. hard to believe
But that smile, that smile looks good on you!!
You. might. find. this. hard to believe
That smile…. that smile…. looks good on you
Yeah-eh!
That smile…. that smile…. looks good on you
Bridge / V3?
I feel like I’m meeting the real you at last
I know you’ve got some real shitty things in your past
But I don’t care, cos I’m so happy for you
Like that smile, that smile. On. You. ooohhh
CHORUS
You. might. find. this. hard to believe
But that smile, that smile looks good on you!!
You. might. find. this. hard to believe
That smile…. that smile…. looks good on you
Yeah-eh!
That smile…. that smile…. looks good on you

Great song, Chariot! Lyrics flow nicely and I like the idea behind it.
