Jeff Clark: Music / Lyrics

WAS IN THE AUTUMN
THAT SHE WAS BORN
MAKING IT EASIER
FOR WINTER’S MORN
JUST LIKE THE CALM
OF A SUMMER STORM
SHE WAS A GIFT FROM GOD

GROWING AND CHANGING
CAN MAKE YOU CRY
BUT SO SWEETLY SOFT
WAS HER LULLABY
DAYS FILLED WITH RAG DOLLS
AND ASKING WHY
SHE WAS A PRETTY GIRL

IN THOSE DAYS
SHE HAD FOUND THE WAYS
TO FILL ALL OUR LIVES
WITH HER SMILE
AND NOW I’VE MET HER
I CAN’T FORGET HER
SHE’LL ALWAYS BE ON MY MIND

THEN CAME THE DAY
THAT SHE WENT AWAY
WE COULD DO NOTHING
BUT HURT AND PRAY
MORE TEARS FOR MOTHER
TO WIPE AWAY
I LOVE THIS PRETTY GIRL

IN THOSE DAYS
SHE HAD FOUND THE WAYS
TO FILL ALL OUR LIVES
WITH HER SMILE
AND NOW I’VE MET HER
I CAN’T FORGET HER
SHE’LL ALWAYS BE ON MY MIND

LOVE DOESN’T DIE
WHEN WE SAY GOODBYE
TO SOMEONE WHO LIVES
FOR ETERNITY
WE HAD HER SMILE
TO MAKE LIFE WORTHWHILE
AND I’M SURE
SHE’S SMILING TODAY
