| When She Smiled at Him Lyrics |
| Suzy Bogguss & Chet Atkins |
| 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 |
| He's 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 |
| Solo |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| Solo |
| And he's still** wrapped round her finger* like the first time |
| when she smiled at him |
