Cryin' Smile
Recorded by Joey+Rory
Album: His and Hers
Got her daddy's eyes and her mama's hairG  
That newborn baby lyin' thereC  
A grandpa holds his first Ggrandchild
DThat's a cryin' smileG  
In another town there's a long white Gdress
Little church crammed full to Sunday Cbest
Bride's father walks her down Gthe aisle
DThat's a cryin' smile G  G  Am  G/B  
[Chorus]
It's a Cgoodbye kiss, first day of school, a Gdoctor callin' with a good news
A Amsinner standin' in the pure, gettin' Gborn for the second time
It's Csnapshots laid out on the floor or a G/Bloved one back home from the war
Makes Amtears fall like G/Brain from a sunny Csky, that's a cryin' smileG  D  
Forty years he punched that Gclock
For a pat on the back and a gold watchC  
They called it going out in Gstyle
DThat's a cryin' smile G  Am  G/B  
[Chorus]
It's a Cgoodbye kiss, first day of school, a Gdoctor callin' with a good news
A Amsinner standin' in the pure, gettin' Gborn for the second time
It's Csnapshots laid out on the floor or a G/Bloved one back home from the war
Makes Amtears fall like G/Brain from a sunny Csky, that's a cryin' smile
[Instrumental]
G Em D C C
A nursin' home has an empty bedG  
Four generations bow their Cheads
God welcomes home another G/BchildC  Em  
DAin't that a cryin' smile?G  D  G
