Charcoal eyes fill this night Hope they don't see through mine And they're telling me I gotta leave But I don't know how to stay There's so much more for me In the land of smiles In the land of smiles Familiar faces fill my mind Pray they don’t leave with the time And I don't think they know Oh, just what they've done Deep within my soul In the land of smiles In the land of smiles I close my eyes and I'm there in that place My skin's so fair compared And as I lay here I'm asking my dreams To take me back to the place that I have seen The land of smiles The land of smiles The land of smiles The land of smiles
