Lyric Smile Your Blues Away
When I was a little girl
I m not much bigger now
My daddy sat me on his knee
Said “Little one, tell me how
How it is that you can see the sun
When all the sky s turned grey.”
I said “Daddy it s because I sit
And smile my blues away.”
Come on and smile and smile and smile
And smile and smile your blues away
When I was a little bigger
I m not much bigger now
Well my mommy sat me on her knee
Said “Little one, tell me how
How it is that you can see the dawn
When it s the end of the day.”
I said “Mommy it s because I sit
And smile my blues away.”
Come on and smile and smile and smile
And smile and smile your blues away
And then one day I woke up
I wasn t little any more
And instead I had a big girl s problems
Knocking at my door
So I sat me down and I remembered then
What I used to say
Oh…when I was a little girl
I used to smile my blues away
Come on and smile and smile and smile
And smile and smile your blues away
And now that I m older
I m not little now
And no-one sits me on their knee
But they still ask me how
How it is that I can make December
Seem like the month of May
And I tell them then
“It s just because I smile my blues away.”
Come on and smile and smile and smile
And smile and smile your blues away
I m not much bigger now
My daddy sat me on his knee
Said “Little one, tell me how
How it is that you can see the sun
When all the sky s turned grey.”
I said “Daddy it s because I sit
And smile my blues away.”
Come on and smile and smile and smile
And smile and smile your blues away
When I was a little bigger
I m not much bigger now
Well my mommy sat me on her knee
Said “Little one, tell me how
How it is that you can see the dawn
When it s the end of the day.”
I said “Mommy it s because I sit
And smile my blues away.”
Come on and smile and smile and smile
And smile and smile your blues away
And then one day I woke up
I wasn t little any more
And instead I had a big girl s problems
Knocking at my door
So I sat me down and I remembered then
What I used to say
Oh…when I was a little girl
I used to smile my blues away
Come on and smile and smile and smile
And smile and smile your blues away
And now that I m older
I m not little now
And no-one sits me on their knee
But they still ask me how
How it is that I can make December
Seem like the month of May
And I tell them then
“It s just because I smile my blues away.”
Come on and smile and smile and smile
And smile and smile your blues away
