You always had an eye for things that glittered
But I was far from being made of gold
Don't know how but I scraped up the money
I just never could quite tell you no

Like when you were leaving Amarillo
Takin' that new job in Tennessee
I quit mine so we could be together
I can't forget the way you looked at me

Just to see you smile
I'd do anything that you wanted me to
When all is said and done
I'd never count the cost, it's worth all that's lost
Just to see you smile

You said time was all you really needed
So I walked away and let you have your space
Leaving didn't hurt me near as badly
As the tears I saw rollin' down your face

And yesterday I knew just what you wanted
When you came walkin' up to me with him
So I told you that I was happy for you
And given the chance, I'd lie again

Just to see you smile
I'd do anything that you wanted me to
And all is said and done
I'd never count the cost, it's worth all that's lost
Just to see you smile

You said time was all you really needed
So I walked away and let you have your space
Leaving didn't hurt me near as badly
As the tears I saw rollin' down your face

And yesterday I knew just what you wanted
When you came walkin' up to me with him
So I told you that I was happy for you
And given the chance, I'd lie again

Just to see you smile
I'd do anything that you wanted me to
And all is said and done
I'd never count the cost, it's worth all that's lost
Just to see you smile
