i need to know the title and artist of a song. the tv show roswell
season 2 finale "the departure" in the scene where max and liz say
good-bye the only lyrics i can make out are : "takes a lot of laughs,
takes a lot of smiles these days to keep your heart from breaking...my
oh my...." it was 2001 when the show was still on the wb network.

 Scene: outside Crash Down, as Max gives Liz the pendant necklace, 
 before leaving (TV song and DVD song are the same)"
