Lyrics to Bright Smile :

Now my work is done

I feel I'm owed some joy

Oh Imogene and Abelard

I'm your homeward boy

But there's another one

Who brings me to your door

And the boat she weaved from the tidal reeds

Was always tied to shore

With bright smiles and dark eyes

Bright smile dark eyes

Everywhere I went oh

I was always searching for ya

Bright smile dark eyes

I'm looking for some peace

But it's so hard to find

With Calamity Janes and the Steamboat Casanovas

And Darling Clementines

If she's your only one

Then she is also mine

Just pin your heartbeat up against my heartbeat

And you'll see how well we rhyme

With bright smiles and dark eyes

Bright smile dark eyes

Everywhere I went oh


I was always looking for ya

Bright smile dark eyes

Man is only half himself


The other half is a bright thing


He tumbles on by luck or grace


For man is ever a blind thing

Bright smiles and dark eyes

Bright smile dark eyes

Everywhere I went oh

I was always looking for ya

Bright smile dark eyes
