David’s Smile Lyrics by Zach Redler, Sara Cooper

The Memory Show

2014

[DAUGHTER]
[Verse 1]
David had a smile
That went on past his face
That could not be contained
In its given space
And I imagined our children
With smiles too big for their heads

[Verse 2]
David had a smile
That was too high on the right
And long folded laugh lines
Like his skin was too tight
And I imagined our children
With laugh lines tucked into their belts

[Verse 3]
David was tall and dramatic
David had a strong handshake
That matched his strong jaw
David was attentive and romantic
David drove a hybrid
David practiced law

[Bridge]
But that wasn't bad enough
The thing that really got under my skin was
Whenever we had an argument
David always let me win
(Spoken)
Who does that?

(Sung)
So, while David was perfect
And David was annoying as hell

[Verse 4]
David had a smile
In fact, he was humming
On the day that I dumped him
Because he said he saw it coming
And I imagined our children
With stupid fat heads, just like his
But the funny thing is

David said I was making a mistake
That I wouldn't find someone like him over night
And now, three years later
I guess I can say he was right
There's no-one with his smile
David had a smile
