An attempt to describe my undying love for my wife, Cindy. She has the power to assuage my frets and fears with a mere smile. Strength and truth, wrapped in velvet.

The Shelter of Your Smile – Glenn Reid

G C G C
Verse 1: Livin’ is such an uncertain thing
G C G C
Whether you’re rich or poor
G C G C
Nobody knows what tomorrow brings
C D G C G C
Least of all me, I’m sure.

Verse 2: Heartache don’t play no favourites, no, no,
Everybody gets their share.
Pardon me for having to say it’s so but
Misery is everywhere

C D G C D G
Chorus: But I found me an oasis, even though it took a while.
C D G C G D G C G C
Life is a true cabaret, I must say, in the shelter of your smile.

Verse 3: So bring it on life, now bring it on
I know that I’ll get my due
Trouble and strife enter everyone’s life
But I know just what’ll get me through.

Repeat Chorus
C Bm
Middle 8: Long as you stand beside me baby
C D G
I can handle anything
C Bm
Long as that smile lights up your face
D D(add Bb)
All the little birdies sing

Repeat Verse 3, Chorus, and out
