about
It's been ten years since this song was written and it's one of the songs that changed my life as a musician. Thank you to my very supportive friends TJ, Carlene, Danny, Vanessa, Jamie, Nunzio, Juliana, David, Crystal, her son Noah, and my two cute pups Theo and Baylee for partaking in the video. A very special thank you goes out to the girl I thought was "so cool and so cute", Sarah for coming into my life and still maintaining a beautiful friendship with me ten years later and counting. We all had so much fun making this and we all hope it makes you smile :).

lyrics
Make You Smile-
What will it take just for a chance
To show you what I'm all about?
I’m ready, just give me your hand
And we'll tear this whole place down
Just come through and stay with me awhile
'Cause all I want to do is make you smile
So it begins with mutual friends, parties, and eye contact
Too nervous to make a move; I’m so happy that you came along and-
An introduction made me reluctant to leave
'Cause all I wanted to do was continue keeping you company
A few words exchanged, so many things in common
Can I just say my mind was made from that second and—
I think you're so cool and you're so cute
And I hope that I can see you again
But if you've got doubts I understand, can you just answer me this?
What will it take just for a chance
To show you what I’m all about?
I’m ready, just give me your hand
And we'll tear this whole place down
Just come through and stay with me awhile
'Cause all I want to do is make you smile
As the months persisted,
I think I missed my chance
Somewhere along the way
Your hand in mine,
It felt so right,
What can I do to make you stay?
Now I’m taking the time to map out a plan
'Cause I know what I want and nothing can stand in my way
So Wake up! Wake up! Can't you see we're overdue?
For some downtime, I’ve been dying to reach you
And ask you…
What will it take just for a chance?
To show you what I’m all about
I’m ready, just give me your hand
And we'll tear this whole place down
Just come through and stay with me awhile
'Cause all I want to do is make you smile
