Biography:
Richard Shindell (born 3 August 1960, Lakehurst, New Jersey) is an American folk singer. While dividing his time between Buenos Aires, Argentina, and New York's Hudson Valley, Shindell is a writer whose songs paint pictures, tell stories, and juxtapose ideas and images.
Shindell's songwriting often involves storytelling from a first-person point of view: for example, from an INS officer and illegal immigrant in "Fishing", to a World War II soldier in "Sparrows Point"

Richard Shindell Smiling written by Richard Shindell
F Bb Eb Bb
I had a place in the desert
F Bb Eb Bb
Just a roof and four walls
F Bb Eb Bb
Where I could wait for the rapture
F Bb Eb Bb
Where I could ride out the fall
F Bb Eb Bb
I was keeping a virgil
F Bb Eb Bb
I was deep in a trance
F Bb Eb Bb
I was holding a candle
F Bb Eb Bb
To the palm of my hand
Eb Bb F Eb Bb F
Then I saw you smiling then I saw you smiling
Eb Bb F Gm Gm9 Gm Cm
Then I saw you smiling
F Bb Eb Bb
Like a fool I protested
F Bb Eb Bb
I need time to prepare
F Bb Eb Bb
You see I never expected
F Bb Eb Bb
Something so simple and clear
F Bb Eb Bb
So I tried to persude you
F Bb Eb Bb
That I was not what you thought
F Bb Eb Bb
That I would only disappoint you
F Bb Eb Bb
That I can't be what I'm not
Eb Bb F
You stood there smiling
Eb Bb F
You stood there smiling
Eb Bb F Gm Gm9 Gm Cm
You stood there smiling
F Bb Eb Bb
I looked around for a reference
F Bb Eb Bb
But there was none I could see
F Bb Eb Bb
Is there a thread to the sequence
F Bb Eb Bb
That brought this vision to me
F Bb Eb Bb
There are larks in the morning
F Bb Eb Bb
Tracing lines to the lake
F Bb Eb Bb
Three dimensions of mercy
F Bb Eb Bb
Three dimensions of grace
Eb Bb F
You just stand there smiling
Eb Bb F
You just stand there smiling
Eb Bb F
You just stand there smiling
F Bb Eb Bb
I had a place in the desert
F Bb Eb Bb
