Sat out a card game in a motel room
   Don't let the muzak drive you crazy late at night
   They tell me it's all part of the deal I'm in
   Well I close my eyes, put memory into sight
  
   Every time I see you smile
  
   Now the lady tabs your case, leaves you thinking
   An hour or so: I hope she's right on time
   And you dream away your touchdown destination
   Now single file and put yourself back in line
  
   But oh, every time I see you smile
  
   Now this old world don't give much for choosing
   You can spend a lifetime driving yourself wild
   But I can take its punches laughing - don't mind losing
   Just as long as I get to see you smile every once in a while
