Light Of A Thousand Smiles lyrics

Published by WB Music Corp. - ASCAP

When I would concentrate with all my might
I could imagine, I would imagine
That I was standing in the spotlight

And if I close my eyes very tight
A crystal vision, a premonition
Would find me shining underneath those hot lights

And I’d daydream in school
With faraway eyes
Living the words of the radio songs
Making my plans
Someday to take the stage
With a rock and roll band

And I would play in the light of a thousand smiles
And the sound would be heard for a thousand miles
Spreading through the towns and fields of America, America

And I would demonstrate every night
My plan of action, the crowd reaction
I’d have `em standing in the front row

With my air guitar, and only my imagination
We’d rock the nation. the main attraction
In the rock and roll show

And I’d daydream in school
With faraway eyes
Living the words of the radio songs
Making my plans
Someday to take the stage
With a rock and roll band

And I would play in the light of a thousand smiles
(And the sound would be heard for a thousand miles)
Spreading through the towns and fields of America, America

As time goes by, some grew weary
It’s hard to keep that dream alive, oh alive
But love and music, keeps me goin’
I know that somehow I’ll survive, ooh I’ll survive

And I’d daydream in school
With faraway eyes
Living the words of the radio songs
Making my plans
I`m gonna take the stage
With a rock and roll band

And I will play in the light of a thousand smiles
Spreading through the towns
Spreading through the fields
And takin` to the streets of America
Spreading through the towns
Spreading through the fields
Taking to the streets of America
Spreading through the towns
Spreading through the fields
Taking to the streets of America
Spreading through the towns
Spreading through the fields
Taking to the streets of America
