Ghost Of His Smile

He don't get out much these days
But I wouldn't call him lazy
He sees the dawn sneak into the room
And he knows the dogs will be up soon

And he felt like he was doing all right
As the sun chased down another night

And days carreen like the waters
Of a river rushing to the sea
Here he comes again down the staircase
He never passes without saying "Hello"

And we thought that he was doing all right
And he says "Hello"

(Can't) Can't forget the ghost
Oh his smile
No I can't (No I can't) forget the ghost
Of his smile

Dogs will wag their tails
And birds will sing
Hell it's hard world
For little things

And he thought that he was doing all right
So he wipes a tear

(Can't) Can't forget the ghost
No I can't, can't forget the ghost
No I can't (No I can't) forget the ghost
Of his smile
