Got her daddy's eyes and her mama's hair (G)
That newborn baby lyin' there (C)
A grandpa holds his first (G) grandchild
(D) That's a cryin' smile (G)
In another town there's a long white (G) dress
Little church crammed full to Sunday (C) best
Bride's father walks her down (G) the aisle
(D) That's a cryin' smile (G) |(G) (Am)(G/B)
(Chorus)
It's a (C)goodbye kiss, first day of school, a (G)doctor callin' with a good news
A (Am)sinner standin' in the pure, gettin' (G)born for the second time
It's (C)snapshots laid out on the floor or a (G/B)loved one back home from the war
Makes (Am)tears fall like (G/B)rain from a sunny (C)sky, that's a cryin' smile (G) (D)
Forty years he punched that (G) clock
For a pat on the back and a gold watch (C)
They called it going out in (G) style
(D) That's a cryin' smile |(G) (Am)(G/B)

Inst.: |(G) |(Em) |(D) |(C) |(C) ---
A nursin' home has an empty bed (G)
Four generations bow their (C) heads
God welcomes home another (G/B) child (C)(Em)
