I still remember the night we met
You said you loved my smile
But your love was like a summer breeze
Oh  it lasted for a while

I could hold on a little tighter I know
But when you love someone you gotta let 'em go so

I'm gonna smile  'cause I want to make you happy
Laugh  so you can't see me cry
I'm gonna let you go in stlye
And even if it kills me
I'm gonna smile

Kiss me once for the good times  baby
Kiss me twice for goodbye
You can't help what you don't feel
And it doesn't matter why

Give me a chance to bow out gracefully
Because that's how I want you to remember me

I'm gonna smile, 'cause I want to make you happy
Laugh, so you can't see me cry
I'm gonna let you go in style
And even if it kills me
I'm gonna smile

I'm gonna smile so you can find the courage
Laugh, so you won't see me hurtin'
I'm gonna let you go in style
And even if it kills me
I'm gonna smile
