[Verse 1]
Why do my thoughts loom so large on me?
They seem to stay, for day after day
And won't disappear, I've tried every way

[Chorus]
But she smiled sweetly
She smiled sweetly
She smiled sweetly
And says don't worry
Oh, no no no

[Verse 2]
Where does she hide it inside of her?
That keeps her peace most every day
And won't disappear, my hair's turning grey

[Chorus]
But she smiled sweetly
She smiled sweetly
She smiled sweetly
And says don't worry

[Bridge]
"There's nothing in why or when
There's no use trying, you're here digging again
And over again"

[Verse 3]
That's what she said so softly
I understood for once in my life
And feeling good most all of the time

[Chorus]
'Cause she smiled sweetly
She smiled sweetly
She smiled sweetly
And said don't worry
Oh, no no no
Oh, no no no
Oh, no no no

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
