When My Little Girl Is Smiling

Ev'ry time my baby and I have a quarrel,

I swear I won't give in.

Then my baby starts to smile at me,

and I know, I know I just can't win.

When My Little Girl Is Smiling

There's nothing more I can Say.

I see those big bright eyes

and then I realize

that girl is gonna get her way

When My Little Girl Is Smiling

I can't stay mad at her for long.

Why should I want to fight

when I can hold her tight?

I just don't care who's right or wrong.

When My Little Girl Is Smiling

it's the greatest thrill there can be.

She gets her way it's true,

but I know I won't be blue

as long as she just smiles for me.
