Uncle Kracker – Smile Lyrics

Rock

You're better than the best
I'm lucky just to linger in your light
Cooler than the flip side of my pillow, that's right
Completely unaware
Nothing can compare to where you send me
Lets me know that it's okay, yeah, it's okay
And the moments where my good times start to fade

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed, sing like a bird
Dizzy in my head, spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night

You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh, you make me smile

Even when you're gone
Somehow you come along
Just like a flower poking through the sidewalk crack
And just like that
You steal away the rain and just like that

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed, sing like a bird
Dizzy in my head, spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night

You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh, you make me smile

Don't know how I lived without you
'Cause every time that I get around you
I see the best of me inside your eyes
You make me smile

You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed, sing like a bird
Dizzy in my head, spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night

You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh, you make me smile

(Oh, you make me smile)
Oh, you make me smile
(Oh, you make me smile)
Oh, you make me smile

About This Song

"Smile" is Uncle Kracker's tender love ballad that captures the intoxicating euphoria of being completely smitten with someone who transforms your entire emotional landscape. The song explores themes of devotion, gratitude, and the almost overwhelming joy that comes from finding someone who makes life feel effortlessly beautiful. Rather than focusing on physical attraction or romantic conquest, the lyrics delve into the profound psychological impact of love-how the right person can lift you from darkness and make ordinary moments feel magical. Uncle Kracker's delivery is warm and conversational, matching the song's intimate confession of vulnerability and appreciation. The production features a laid-back, acoustic-driven arrangement with gentle percussion and melodic guitar work that creates an atmosphere of contentment and ease. The track represents Uncle Kracker's softer side, moving away from his earlier hip-hop influenced work toward a more mature, folk-rock sensibility. The song's universal appeal lies in its authentic portrayal of how love can be both grounding and elevating simultaneously-making someone feel "dizzy" yet completely at peace. "Smile" resonated with listeners because it captured that specific feeling of being so grateful for someone's presence that their mere existence feels like a gift, making it a popular choice for weddings and romantic dedications.

    i met someone and he is so special to me. We talked for hours and then we heard this song for the first time only hours after meeting and he said to me "this should be our song". It's only been days but I know he is the one. I haven't stopped smiling since we said "Hello". Brian and Mary just starting our journey Sept. 2009

    This song breaks my heart because I feel this way about someone and can't ever let it be known. Just have to keep it inside, and it hurts. Uncle Kracker is an amazing lyricist.

    Me and my boyfriend have been together over a year adn we've spent most of our time trying to find OUR song. We've went through so many songs that it's pretty funny to even think about, I woke up one morning and this song was on. I almost fell outta bed i was so happy. I called up my boyfriend and told him i found our song, and he loved it and now: Smile by Uncle Kracker is OUR song! ^_^
