Charlie's Smile

by Garrington T Jones

/

about

Charlie is my grandson who has a beautiful smile that will melt the ice on a cold winter’s day.

The song is based upon the real-life experience of my son Ross (Charlie’s dad), when he covered fourteen hour shifts in a kitchen of a theatre restaurant during the January pantomime season.

New Tradition Music have released this track in celebration of Charlie's Smile being selected as Record Of The Week on Smile Radio from 13-20th November 2022.

Note the discounted price.

lyrics

Silence! The darkest morning;
Snow has fallen through the cold, cold night.
Grab a cup of tea,
And soon it’s time to be,
Out on my way,
I look into his room,
His eyes wide open,
And then Charlie smiles.....

Roasting! In Hell’s kitchen;
Half way through my day, six more hours to go!
Waiters keep a-running,
Checks-on keep a-coming,
It never ends!
There’s a photo on the wall,
Eyes of blue,
And I see Charlie’s smile.

Bitter! In the cold wind;
Sleet in my face; I’m on my way back home.
Key is in the door,
Coat hung in the hall,
It’s good to be here!
And waiting in the room,
His eyes wide open,
And then Charlie smiles...
As I walk into the room,
Eyes of blue and I see Charlie’s smile.
I see Charlie’s smile...
