U2 - Smile (From How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb Sessions) Lyrics

Released: January 1, 2006

Songwriter: Simon Carmody Adam Clayton Bono

Gravity is not pulling me
I won't be a picture with no sign
Decaying I’m praying
You are my abbot
I need the ground to kneel upon
And love can't be your song
I don't want to see you smile

I’m breaking it taking it
I'm breaking it slowly in mind
I'm seeing it freeing it
I know love is in this soul of mine
It's not in your eyes

I don't want
I don't want to see you smile

I started light-hearted

It won't be easy like you said
I'm going flowing
I’m leaving on the day of the dead
I will never get, you will never get
I don’t want to see you smile

God knows it, knows it
Knows it, knows it
You sing
Hear me love
Sing it again
Going out blind
The smoke machine is yours not mine
I don't want to see you smile

I will live again
You will live again
I just don’t want to see you smile

U2

U2 is an Irish rock band from Dublin, which started in post-punk but soon incorporated elements from various musical genres (funk, electronica, blues). Composed of Bono (vocals and guitar), The Edge (guitar, keyboards, and vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar), and Larry Mullen Jr (drums and percussion), the band is noted for a sound built on melodic instrumentals, and lyrics, filled with spiritual imagery, personal themes and sociopolitical concerns. U2 sold more than 150 million records worldwide, and created some of the most lavish, memorable and profitable concert tours in history. Their success also helped the bandmembers advocate for human rights and philanthropic causes.
