Lyrics by Melinda Thompson
Behind Her Smile
Genres: Country
(Verse 1) She walks in the room, sunshine on her face, Hiding all the battles she’s fighting in place. Hands that heal, words that lift, A heart weighed down, but she won’t let it drift. (Chorus) Behind her smile, there’s a storm nobody sees, Fighting shadows on her own, down on her knees. But she keeps on walkin’, keeps the world in her hand, Shining through the darkness, tryin’ to understand. Behind her smile, she’s a hero, she’s brave, Holding everyone else when hers needs to be saved. (Verse 2) She lifts the weary, makes the broken whole, Keeps the fires burning, hides the toll. Even on nights when the tears should fall, She’s the voice of hope, standin’ tall. (Chorus) Behind her smile, there’s a storm nobody sees, Fighting shadows on her own, down on her knees. But she keeps on walkin’, keeps the world in her hand, Shining through the darkness, tryin’ to understand. Behind her smile, she’s a hero, she’s brave, Holding everyone else when hers needs to be saved. (Bridge) She’s stronger than the night, brighter than the pain, Even when the rain falls, she dances through the rain. If she ever falters, the world might not know, But she’s the quiet light that makes the shadows go. (Chorus – lift) Behind her smile, there’s a storm nobody sees, Fighting shadows on her own, down on her knees. But she keeps on walkin’, keeps the world in her hand, Shining through the darkness, tryin’ to understand. Behind her smile, she’s a hero, she’s brave, Holding everyone else when hers needs to be saved. (Outro – sing-along feel) Here’s to the woman behind the smile… Carryin’ the night, walkin’ every mile.

Today’s the Day

(Verse 1) Sun is shinin’ bright, the sky’s so blue, Every step I take, I’m takin’ it with you. Boots on the floor, hearts racin’ fast, Gonna make this love story one that lasts. (Pre-Chorus) Friends are cheerin’, family’s all around, We found forever, and love’s what we’ve found. (Chorus) Today’s the day, we say “I do,†Singin’ our hearts out, me and you. Laughter and love, it’s all we need, Dancin’ together, feelin’ the beat. Raise your glass, clap your hands, We’re startin’ forever, join the band! Today’s the day, we start our life, Me and my baby, husband and wife. (Verse 2) Rings on our fingers, stars in our eyes, Every little moment, a sweet surprise. Holdin’ each other through thick and thin, Our love’s a fire that’ll never dim. (Pre-Chorus) The band is playin’, boots tappin’ the ground, We found forever, and love’s what we’ve found.

(Chorus – big, anthem style) Today’s the day, we say “I do,†Singin’ our hearts out, me and you. Laughter and love, it’s all we need, Dancin’ together, feelin’ the beat. Raise your glass, clap your hands, We’re startin’ forever, join the band! Today’s the day, we start our life, Me and my baby, husband and wife.

Gypsy Heart
Genres: Country, Indie
(Verse 1) rolls into town with her old guitar, A smile in her pocket, a light in her heart. Dust on her boots, wind in her hair, But she leaves behind magic everywhere. (Chorus) Gypsy heart, runnin’ wild and free, Spreadin’ joy like leaves on a breeze. Even on the days when her tears fall down, She turns her sorrow into songs for the town. Gypsy heart, you make the world bright, Dancin’ through darkness, bringin’ the light. (Verse 2) Campfires and lanterns, she’s laughin’ loud, Makin’ strangers feel like they belong in the crowd. Her story’s hidden in the lines on her face, But she gives the world a little grace. (Chorus) Gypsy heart, runnin’ wild and free, Spreadin’ joy like leaves on a breeze. Even on the days when her tears fall down, She turns her sorrow into songs for the town. Gypsy heart, you make the world bright, Dancin’ through darkness, bringin’ the light. (Bridge) She don’t stay too long, she’s always on the move, But every soul she touches feels the love she proves. Life’s been heavy, but she won’t stay low, Her melody’s a river that keeps on flowin’. (Chorus – lift) Gypsy heart, runnin’ wild and free, Spreadin’ joy like leaves on a breeze. Even on the days when her tears fall down, She turns her sorrow into songs for the town. Gypsy heart, you make the world bright, Dancin’ through darkness, bringin’ the light. (Outro – soft, wistful) Gypsy heart, keep wanderin’ on, Your song’s a sunrise after the storm.
