just a little sigh

thanks for the comments, dudes and dudettes. for those who haven't noticed, once in a while i like to use this blog to write out my emotional outbursts as well, not just for one piece crap. after all, it's called "confessions," right? thanks to jim who gave me the title.

spent a good five hours looking for something to calm me down, but did not succeed. until i came across another song by maaya sakamoto, baby face; it sounds like a jazz from the 1920s but still managed to put a smile on my face.

baby face
what's goin' on?
seems you've given up
'cause you look so down

baby face
is somethin' wrong?
you know your face is 'bout ten feet long
just give a little sigh
you don't have to cry
it can't be so bad

baby face
what's on your mind?
it looks to me you're wasting all your time
come on

baby face
now here's a tip
you're gonna stumble on your own lip
put it all away
cause there's other days
please don't look so sad

smile and let it go
just laugh and let sunshine take control and
tell yourself a joke
and laugh some more

smile and you will see
how easy and simple life can be now
you just have to try
let yourself believe

baby face
here's what you do
just sing yourself a little melody or two

baby face
yeah it's alright
you'll find your happiness is inside
inside of you
yeah yeah yeah you

you gotta try

baby face
yeah loose the frown
just tell your mouth that it's upside down
just give a little sigh
you don't have to cry
no, please don't be sad

smile and let it go
just laugh and let sunshine take control and
tell yourself a joke
and laugh some more

smile and you will see
how easy and simple life can be now
you just have to try
let yourself believe

smile and let it go
don't matter which way
the wind might blow cause
everywhere's a chance
waiting to grow

just be who you are
cause you could even charm the sparkle
from a star

smile,
and the world will be laughin', now
smile,
and the sun will be shinin', now
smile,
and the whole world will smile for you

that's all you gotta do
that's all you gotta do

baby face
come on
just smile for the world


i'm not easily cheered when things screw around with my emotions, but there are some things that just strike you at the right spot, and it heals miraculously.

smile, and let it go.
smile, and the whole world will smile with you.


thank you, maaya-chan.
