        Em 
I see a smile 

     C 
It's bright 

     G 
as a dawn's 

         D 
break of light 

               Em 
Is it meant for me? 

     C 
This time 

              G 
Can I keep it close 

           D 
to warm me forever 

Em               G    D 
Time can make the world strange 

Em                  G       D 
Folks you knew don't seem the same 

G 
Time don't care 

  D 
It beats you there 

   Em               Am 
And takes it all from you 

G 
Don't you think 

D 
Even a blink 

  Em               Am 
Is safe from all you knew 

         G 
I see the girl here 

         D 
And she's smilin' 

       Em          C 
Missing two front teeth 

      G        D 
Age is three plus three 

           G 
Well she's a'laughin' 

           D 
Her hair is golden 

          Em 
Her toes a tappin' 

       C     D 
To the robot band (let ring) 

                Em 
I still see her now 

C 
Smiling 

                   G 
Her hair done up in bows 

                   D 
Her brown eyes twinkling 

                   Em 
She hummed a little song 

   C 
For me 

            G 
From a music box 

           D 
Given by Mommy 

Em  D         Em

           G 
The autumns roll by 

         D 
a young lady 

          Em 
takes the child's place 

            C 
Pig tailed freckled face 

           G 
And she's a workin' 

      D 
On a'growin' 

         Em 
While the world does change 

          Am        D 
Her smile stays the same 

          Em 
There is a woman 

       C 
with a man 

                 G 
her hair is dyed black 

                             D 
But that smile it still came back 

           Em 
After the curtain 

                   C 
She leaves a little box 

                G 
A tiny dancer spins

Music plays from within
