You always had an eye for things that glittered But I was far from bein' made of gold I don't know how but I scraped up the money I just never could quite tell you no Just like when you were leavin' Amarillo To take that new job in Tennessee And I quit mine so we could be together I can't forget the way you looked at me Just to see you smile I'd do anything That you wanted me to And all is said and done I'd never count the cost It's worth all that's lost Just to see you smile When you said time was all you really needed I walked away and let you have your space Cause leavin' didn't hurt me near as badly As the tears I saw rollin' down your face And yesterday I knew just what you wanted When you came walkin' up to me with him So I told you that I was happy for you And given the chance I'd lie again Just to see you smile I'd do anything That you wanted me to And all is said and done I'd never count the cost It's worth all that's lost Just to see you smile Just to see you smile I'd do anything That you wanted me to And all is said and done I'd never count the cost It's worth all that's lost Just to see you smile
