Lyrics

Smiling All The Way Back Home (Live at Union Chapel)

It's called "Smiling All The Way Back Home"

Party's nearly over
We sat there on a sofa
Kinda close but getting closer
I know that you gotta go, but

I don't wanna say goodbye
It's been so long since I
Stayed up late at night
With someone that I like

I'm gonna be smiling all the way back home
Just smiling all the way back home
I'm gonna be smiling all the way, smiling all the way
Smiling all the way back home

We're on the street now, we're stalling
Uber driver keeps calling
You say to me "Just ignore him"
It's 4:45 a.m. in the morning

And I don't wanna say goodbye
It's been so long since I
Stayed up late at night
With someone that I like

I'm gonna be smiling all the way back home
Just smiling all the way back home
I'm gonna be smiling all the way, smiling all the way
Smiling all the way back home

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

And I don't wanna say goodbye
It's been so long since I
Stayed up late at night
With someone that I like

I'm gonna be smiling all the way back home
Just smiling all the way back home
I'm gonna be smiling all the way, smiling all the way
Smiling all the way back home

Thank you very much, good night
