When She Smiled At Him

He wasn't prepared
For a daughter he thought how nice
A son would have been
But she had her way with her father
When she smiled at him
Years ago he stopped trying to change her he knew that
He just couldn't win
She'd come home
With stray dogs and strangers
He's have to let 'em in when she smiled at him
Now those old memories linger
In his mind she's still only ten
And he's still wrapped
Round her finger like the first
Time when she smiled at him
When he gave her away at the wedding
He paused for a moment and then
He whispered I think now
I'm ready when she smiled at him
Now as the years fade into each other he may forget
Some things now and then
But her face now so much like
Her mother's carries him back again
To when she smiled at him
Now those old memories linger
And he's smile cheat she long tough
And he's still wrapped round her finger like the first
Time when she smiled at him
And he's still wrapped round her finger like the first
Time when she smiled at him
