Cryin' Smile · letra

Got her daddy's eyes and her mama's hair That newborn baby lyin' there A grandpa holds his first grandchild That's a cryin' smile
In another town there's a long white dress Little church crammed full to Sunday best Bride's father walks her down the aisle That's a cryin' smile
It's a goodbye kiss, first day of school A doctor callin' with a good news A sinner standin' in the pure Gettin' born for the second time
It's snapshots laid out on the floor Or a loved one back home from the war Makes tears fall like rain from a sunny sky That's a cryin' smile
Forty years he punched that clock For a pat on the back and a gold watch They called it goin' out in style That's a cryin' smile
It's a goodbye kiss, first day of school A doctor callin' with a good news A sinner standin' in the pure Gettin' born for the second time
It's snapshots laid out on the floor Or a loved one back home from the war Makes tears fall like rain from a sunny sky That's a cryin' smile
A nursin' home has an empty bed Four generations bow their heads God welcomes home another child Ain't that a cryin' smile?
