Lyrics

He'd Smile Back

She'd see him sitting day to day at the pretty park
Peaceful shaded from the sun amidst green leaves and bark
Of trees stood tall and gracious like they owned the fresh-mown grass
She'd nod at him and say good-day each morning as she'd pass
And he'd smile back
Nod her way say nothing
Just smile back

She'd nod at him and say good-day each morning as she'd pass
And he'd smile back
Nod her way say nothing
Just smile back
Oh oh, he'd smile back

She'd carry his smile with her so enhance her peace of mind
Walking on to work each day, work not a daily grind
Work she took much pleasure from preparing midday meals
For old folk not unlike this man, but needing meals on wheels
Right to their door
Meals delivered daily
To their door

She'd nod at him and say good-day each morning as she'd pass
And he'd smile back
Nod her way say nothing
Just smile back
Oh, oh, he'd smile back
Bridge:
She'd greet but never meet this man sat peaceful underneath
Those gracious trees
Whose friendly smile and nod enhanced her spirit as she passed
Put her at ease
Walking to her work each day uplifted passing through
The pretty park
Past this man so peaceful shaded from the sun amidst Green leaves and bark

She'd carry his smile with her so enrich her peace of mind
Walking on to work became a joy more than a grind
Work she took much pleasure from preparing midday meals
For folk a little like this man, but needing meals on wheels
Right to their door
Meals delivered daily
To their door

She'd nod at him and say good-day each morning as she'd pass
And he'd smile back
Nod her way say nothing
Just smile back
She'd nod and say good-day then off she'd go
Uplifted with a happy inner glow
Cos' he'd smile back
Oh oh oh Smile back
Yeah yeah
He'd smile back
