Got her daddyâs eyes and her mamaâs hair
That newborn baby lyinâ there
A grandpa holds his first grandchild
Thatâs a cryinâ smile
In another town thereâs a long white dress
Little church crammed full to Sunday best
Brideâs father walks her down the aisle
Thatâs a cryinâ smile
Itâs a goodbye kiss, first day of school
A doctor callinâ with a good news
A sinner standinâ in the pure
Getting born for the second time
Itâs snapshots laid out on the floor
Or a loved one back home from the war
Makes tears fall like rain from a sunny sky
Thatâs a cryinâ smile
Forty years he punched that clock
For a pat on the back and a gold watch
They called it going out in style
Thatâs a cryinâ smile
Itâs a goodbye kiss, first day of school
A doctor callinâ with a good news
A sinner standinâ in the pure
Getting born for the second time
Itâs snapshots laid out on the floor
Or a loved one back home from the war
Makes tears fall like rain from a sunny sky
Thatâs a cryinâ smile
A nursinâ home has an empty bed
Four generations bow their heads
God welcomes home another child
Ainât that a cryinâ smile?
