Reason To Live - Lyrics - Darden Smith
Darden Smith is an Austin-based singer-songwriter known for his lyrics and for weaving folk and Americana influences with rock, pop, and the musical roots of his home state. His debut album, "Native Soil," was released in 1986. His fourteenth album, Love Calling, came out August 27, 2013. Over the past decade, Smith has developed two programs, The Be An Artist Program and SongwritingWith . Both use collaborative songwriting to work with groups ranging from children in the classroom to soldiers returning home from combat. Smith established SongwritingWith:Soldiers as a separate non-profit organization in 2012. In a recent presentation for TEDxAustin called "Fearing Your Gift," Darden Smith discusses what led him to these projects and how, going forward, creativity is central to everything he does.

I laugh, I love a crowd
I dance, I talk too loud
Anyplace where people go
I'm the guy who puts on a show
But when, when the night is done
There is only one
Only one thing I want to do
I come home to you
Cause you're more than any word
Any songs I've ever heard
You are brighter than all the neon lights
And when I'm here when it's quiet
On a night just like tonight
I can see all you have to give
You're my reason to live
Those parties they're all the same
Those people I forget their names
It's just a job, baby, it's what I do
Then I come home to you
Cause you're more than any words
In any song I've ever heard
You are brighter than all the neon lights
And when I'm here and when it's quiet
On a night just like tonight
It's clear all you have to give
You're my reason to live
