(Verse 1) (Mmmm, mmmm) Scraped up knees and teary eyes, Overwhelming days or scary nights, You’d pull us close and hold us tight, (Wrapped in your loving arms) Till everything felt so right. (Oh yeah) The world felt big, we felt so small, But somehow you could fix it all, (You always fixed it all) With that little song we still hear Like it was yesterday. (Refrain) (Oooohhhh) Smile that smile for me, my little chickadee, You know that it makes my whole day. When you look so sad, it makes me feel so bad, So smile that smile for me, my chickadee. (Verse 2) (Mmmmmmm) Now we’re older and life moves fast, (Oh so fast) Still some nights the shadows last And when this world gets too heavy We still hear your melody. (Your beautiful voice) Back then we didn’t understand How you carried everyone’s pain, Still somehow finding strength enough To sing the clouds away. (Refrain) (Ooooohhhhh) “Smile that smile for me, my little chickadee, You know that it makes my whole day. When you look so sad, it makes me feel so bad, So smile that smile for me, my chickadee.” (Bridge) (Ooooooo yeah) All those little songs you sang at night, Were love wrapped up in lullabies, And looking back now, we can see… You were an angel in disguise. (Our angel in disguise) (Ending) So when we close our eyes tonight, We can still hear you singing, “Smile that smile for me, my little chickadee…”
