G
Got her daddy's eyes and her mama's hair
                              C
That newborn baby lyin' there
                          G
A grandpa holds his first grandchild
D                     G
That's a cryin' smile

                                     G
In another town there's a long white dress
                                     C
Little church crammed full to Sunday best
                              G
Bride's father walks her down the aisle
D                     G G Am G/B
That's a cryin' smile 

[Chorus]
       C                                    G
It's a goodbye kiss, first day of school, a doctor callin' with a good news
  Am                                   G
A sinner standin' in the pure, gettin' born for the second time
     C                                    G/B
It's snapshots laid out on the floor or a loved one back home from the war
      Am              G/B               C                          G D
Makes tears fall like rain from a sunny sky, that's a cryin' smile

                            G
Forty years he punched that clock
                                       C
For a pat on the back and a gold watch
                            G
They called it going out in style
D                       G Am G/B
That's a cryin' smile 

[Chorus]
       C                                    G
It's a goodbye kiss, first day of school, a doctor callin' with a good news
  Am                                   G
A sinner standin' in the pure, gettin' born for the second time
     C                                    G/B
It's snapshots laid out on the floor or a loved one back home from the war
      Am              G/B               C
Makes tears fall like rain from a sunny sky, that's a cryin' smile

[Instrumental]
G Em D C C

                                G
A nursin' home has an empty bed
                           C
Four generations bow their heads
                          G/B   C Em
God welcomes home another child
D                            G D G
Ain't that a cryin' smile?
