Andrew Calhoun - Smile for Your Daddy

Smile for Your Daddy

Smile for your daddy, smile for your daddy
He's into big things, business trips and diamond rings
You light up his day
With your innocence, and your confidence
In your special way

Smile for your mama, smile for your mama
She'll get up at night
She tries to feed you right
You light up her day
With your innocence, and your confidence
In your special way

Smile for a while, smile for a while,
We get so depressed, you make the house a mess
Come light up our day
With your innocence and your confidence
In your special way

Smile for the flash, smile for the flash
Hold that pose, don't wrinkle up your nose
Light up your face
Give the little laugh, turn it on and off
Show us your grace

Smile for the Santa, smile for the Santa
He loves girls and boys, he brings new toys
On Christmas day
So if you are good and do the things you should,
He'll come your way

Hurry up now, hurry up now
Come on, hold my hand, don't smile at that man
He's not our kind
It's not everyone
That loves you, little one
Watch for the sign

Kiss your mom goodbye, kiss your mom goodbye
When you go to school, don't you play the fool
Watch what you say
Watch the other kid
And do like he did
You'll be okay

We're your Mom and Dad, we're your Mom and Dad,
It is our belief, we're born to come to grief
We don't know how
To speak to God, or the firing squad
Don't ask us now

Your family, your family
It's an awkward load, it's a twisting road
Be on your way
Soft and silent go, through the heavy snow
We don't know the way
