I was struck at the end of the film when the character played by Julia Roberts smiles to herself, having successfully accomplished something amazing against incredible, life-threatening odds, and yet no one knew that it was her that did it. This is the smile of God. Final version of lyrics: Friday, July 1st, 1994 Julia Roberts' Smile (This Side of Paradise, 2001) some people get up early to watch the sunrise some people get up and walk for miles and miles some people move out the city to live in the countryside but i - i see his love in julia roberts' smile men fly to the east and men sail to the west some swear that home is where it's best yesterday i met a man who swears he found it all inside But i - i see his love in julia roberts' smile in the city where it's close or in the mountains where it's high something separates us from the love we feel inside some search among their memories they had when they were a child but i - I see his love in julia roberts' smile some believe in what they see, some know all's not what it seems some search in books and fairy tales, some chase it in their dreams some seek it in casinos, they wonder just where it hides but i - i see his love in julia roberts' smile in a standing ovation or in a big parade looking for a way to say the things we want to say in fireworks and launching ships, in monuments and in festivals of light but tonight I just want to celebrate julia roberts' smile Summer 1994, London.
