Soft and Gentle Smile

11 Soft And Gentle Smile
(Jim Stanard)

Only thing I heard was the pounding of my heart
I could hardly lift my arm to ring your door
But on that first date when you said “come on in”
you washed away the nerves I had before

Your soft and gentle smile
said that I should stay awhile
The calmness in your eyes put me at ease
The light touch of your hand
made me want to be your man
Your soft and gentle smile said you agreed
Your soft and gentle smile spoke to me

Through years together there were times
I feared we got too near the edge
not sure you’d always wanna stay
When we were done our hurtin’, we’d always worked things out
and you let me know that we were OK

With your soft and gentle smile
makes me glad I stayed awhile
Calmness in your eyes puts me at ease
The light touch of your hand
makes me wanna be your man
Your soft and gentle smile says you agree
Your soft and gentle smile still speaks to me
speaks to me

With our adventures together, we’ve both got a little grey
Maybe we’re more likely to forget
But one thing’s never changed, I recognize that smile
the same as the first day that we met
That we met

Your soft and gentle smile
makes me glad I stayed awhile
The calmness in your eyes put me at ease
The light touch of your hand
makes me wanna be your man
Your soft and gentle smile says you agree
Your soft and gentle smile still speaks to me
