Claire Hamill - Smile Your Blues Away lyrics

When I was a little girl I'm not much bigger now My daddy sat me on his knee Said "Little one, tell me how How it is that you can see the sun When all the sky's turned grey." I said "Daddy it's because I sit And smile my blues away." Come on and smile and smile and smile And smile and smile your blues away When I was a little bigger I'm not much bigger now Well my mommy sat me on her knee Said "Little one, tell me how How it is that you can see the dawn When it's the end of the day." I said "Mommy it's because I sit And smile my blues away." Come on and smile and smile and smile And smile and smile your blues away And then one day I woke up I wasn't little any more And instead I had a big girl's problems Knocking at my door So I sat me down and I remembered then What I used to say Oh… when I was a little girl I used to smile my blues away Come on and smile and smile and smile And smile and smile your blues away And now that I'm older I'm not little now And no-one sits me on their knee But they still ask me how How it is that I can make December Seem like the month of May And I tell them then "It's just because I smile my blues away." Come on and smile and smile and smile And smile and smile your blues away
