Cry the ocean dry


If i could cry the ocean dry
would the color of my eyes wash out?
And would my mouth be permanently downcast
If i stopped smiling for years to come?
Would i forget how?
If smiling takes less muscles than to frown
Why do i tire myself with the every so often frown on my face?
What would it be like to have a constant smile on my face?
Will i ever have that chance?
Will life even be that good to me as to let that happen?
Maybe so & maybe not
But whatever happens 
I know i will have friends
to put that smile back on my face
