Lyrics:
You always had an eye for things that glittered
But I was far from bein made of gold
I dont know how that I scraped up the money
I just never could quite tell you no
Just like when you were leavin amarillo
To take that new job in tennessee
And I quit mine so we could be together
I cant forget the way you looked at me

Chorus:

Just to see you smile
Id do anything
That you wanted me to
And all is said and done
Id never count the cost
Its worth all thats lost
Just to see you smile

When you said time was all you really needed
I walked away and let you have your space
Cuz leavin didnt hurt me near as badly
As the tears I saw rollin down your face
And yesterday I knew just what you wanted
When you came walkin up to me with him
So I told you that I was happy for you
And given the chance Id lie again

(repeat chorus)

Id do anything
That you wanted me to
And all is said and done
Id never count the cost
Its worth all thats lost
Just to see you smile

Congratulations. You are both a fine signer and a wonderful teacher. Your "how to" segment was very enlightening. Again, thank you.

the 'How To' is really helpful. Knowing, (now), that your not doing it word/for/word is.... better. I've actually first tried to sign out as much as i could from 'Tik Tok' by .. lol you .. and i am catching on but all the smaller hand gestures are harder to catch but -tik tok- is the first one i saw from you. so i naturally started with -tik tok-. now that i know you did more (slower) songs, i'll "learn" more. i've catch on to the slower songs better but still working on it. Thanks for the help!

I LOVE your videos!!! I have learned soooo much, it has helped me in teaching my son. Thank you! I have to be careful when I drive and hear songs you have done, I automatically want to sign to it! ;)

this video is awesome!! i know ASL but I'm not so good at it but my sister signs (she is hearing but she is learning to become an ASL interpreter) and your videos really help me with my signing :)

Hello, I love this video and I am for sure subscribing! I want to learn sign so bad! as well as teach my son (5months old)

I am wondering, when you do the signs does it matter which side you favor? ex. when you sign just to see you smile, does it matter if you use right or left?

I've been mirroring your videos so i've been using left. Shall I change to right before I learn too much more?

Than k you :)

You are awesome! I'm trying to find you on FB and can't seem to locate you........I can't stop watching your vids............you are an incredible signer!!!

Ally, thank you so much for your songs. I have a certification in Deaf and Hard of Hearing but studied it in a Masters program so I don't have my signing down at all. I teach hard of hearing oral students. I really want to learn sign and you are helping me tremendously. I need the conceptual explained to me after the song. I need slower songs like you do with repeating stanzas. Thank you so much. Sic Em Bears.

this has really helped me thank you! you are doing perfect

[DeLeonMar]

That was Amazing! The best song interpreter on youtube I have found.. by far! Yes, some of the others who sign word for word are "easier" to understand IN English BUT the bottom line is, you are signing it in ASL (the proper way) and to me, that is what really matters! I will definitely be looking up more videos by you! Thank you!  You ROCK!
