Suzy Bogguss - When She Smiled at Him lyrics

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 And he'd 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 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. And he's still wrapped 'round her finger Like the first time When she smiled at him...
