Lyrics
Nineteen Smiles
© 2009 Kevin Pearson / Magne Kolstad
V1
He hears the headmaster say
Big smile on the count of three
The flash bulb popping in his face
Seventy years later He still see's
V2
Black and white eight by ten
Nineteen kids one small town
He remembers every one of them
he hates to take that picture down
CHORUS
He marks an X on the glass
One for every Soul that's passed
For the boys that he loved like brothers
Some X's were harder than others
For the girl he married that same fall
He never got around to using that X at all
Nineteen smiles, frozen there in time
Forever the Class of nineteen thirty nine
Nineteen friends, together in life
They will meet again, if the fate is kind
V3
He points to Johnny Carlson
Says we walked to school together
Got a letter from one of his grandsons
Says that we lost him last December
CHORUS
He marks an X on the glass
One for every Soul that's passed
For the boys that he loved like brothers
Some X's were harder than others
For the girl he married that same fall
He never got around to using that X at all
Nineteen smiles, frozen there in time
Forever the Class of nineteen thirty
Nineteen friends, together in life
They will meet again, if the fate is kind
BRIDGE
I said Dad, if you have the time
Tell me about these faces
all the names and all the places
and for a while they all seemed so alive
CHORUS (old)
He marks an X on the glass
One for every soul that's passed
He's Not sure about Jenny Smith
If she's gone thats news to him
So There's two X's missing
From the Class of nineteen thirty nine
and there's Nineteen smiles
frozen right there in time
Nineteen friends, together in life
They will meet again, if the fate is kind
