LYRICS
No matter the tribulation
No, no matter the trial
Merely your suggestion
Brings on a mile wide smile
You saving grace
You bring a smile to my face
Under the situation
Of you playing guitar
The jubilation
Toward a smile goes far
You saving grace
You bring a smile to my face
If only the population
Would yell more, more, more
The spiritual elevation
Will bring on smiles for sure
You saving grace
You bring a smile to my face

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — E A E
Bm7 A E
Written in Ambler, PA and recorded at Fort Washington State Park in Ft. Washington, Montgomery County, PA. The live version was recorded by Jon at the Jon Sherling Studios in Mount Laural, NJ.
The inspiration came as I sat on a bench in Ambler, PA trying to think of a song to play on stage that night. When I started writing the music on an acoustic guitar, I look up and saw a face smiling back at me. This made me smile. So, I continued with the inspiration knowing the smiling faces would make me smile that night. Then, I stopped to write down some lyrics, and I heard a little voice behind me yell, “More! More! More!” It was a little girl maybe 2-3 years old. She continued chanting until I started playing again. May music bring a smile to our faces.
