Lyrics

SADIE SMILES

She just took her first glimpse of the world then closed her eyes,
And you can't help but fall in love with the girl and hope she stays for a while,
She's got the rest of her life to chart the course she'll travel down,
And when she sleeps at night, so she don't lose her way in her dreams, we keep a nightlite on.

You got her there all cuddled up in your arms about the size of your old doll,
And though you're charged with keeping her from all harm, 't ain't no trouble at all,
You've got the rest of your life to watch the roads she'll travel down,
And when she sleeps at night, so she don't lose her way in her dreams, you keep a nightlite on.

And when Sadie smiles it's like the dawning of a brand new day,
She's leaving you speechless but you know there's just got to be a way,
With parchment and quill, you try to find the right words to say.

And then Sadie smiles.
