Story behind the song
This song is in memory of a special lady, (a lady with happy, beautiful smiling eyes, no matter how much I misbehaved as a youth :o) ), my mothers sister. Sadly she was taken from this world about 6 years ago and we still miss her loads. This song is for my uncle John and my mum xx
Lyrics
Smiling Eyes By Dawn Diamond I remember like yesterday The Way you looked, your scent Your clothes and your hair My mothers sister and an aunt that I admired But most of all I remember your smiling eyes I also remember like yesterday You were a florist with style, grace and flair And whenever I see flowers you always come to mind Then once again I remember your smiling eyes Chorus Smiling eyes, smiling eyes So kind and so bright Smiling eyes, smiling eyes I'll remember all my life I also remember like yesterday The pain in knowing we'd not see you again A mother, a wife and a gran, a sister, an aunt You touched our lives And we still love you, still remember Your smiling eyes Chorus Smiling Eyes, smiling eyes So kind and so bright Smiling eyes, smiling eyes I'll remember all my life (Instrumental) Repeat chorus.....end

A wonderful song and a wonderful tribute to your aunt! I like your simple arrangement ... it is so peaceful. But on the other hand, I´m curious, what Tammy will come up with in terms of a new arrangement. She is the right person to take on this delicate task! Well done! Peo

Well, Miss Thang...I can hear a lovely arrangement for this one, in my head, tho the simple arrangement you have done, fits just as well. :) You just don't realize how much your voice touches the heart, Miss Dawn..I still say the Lord has touched you, because I feel it, I always have. 5-star treatment! :) Downloading the track now to see what I can do with it.
