Cryin' Smile Lyrics

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
Getting 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 going 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
Getting 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?
