The Smile You Left Behind |
| At Mr. Sainbury’s counter, she looked cute |
| The dairy maid met the boy in a sailor suit |
| «Will you marry me» he said on their first date |
| Sailor boys were never ones to wait |
| Two hearts entwined |
| And I love you for the smile you left behind |
| They had a son in nine months to the day |
| He chose the submarines for better pay |
| He worked hard, you can see the care he took |
| I know because I’ve seen it in his book |
| It’s underlined |
| And I love you for the smile you left behind |
| When you passed away the doves flew out of reach |
| I saw his name and wept on Southsea beach |
| I framed a photograph that you had missed |
| The words «I Love you» written on his wrist |
| Life’s so unkind |
| But I love you for the smile you left behind |
