Smiling In The Morning – David Ball

She was smiling in the morning
But was crying in the afternoon
I had to tell her I was leaving
And I guess I went and changed her tune
Even though we said a sad goodbye
Was something we would not do
She was smiling in the morning
And crying in the afternoon

I got a transatlantic ticket in my pocket
And I’ll soon be gone
I thought we had it understood
That I wouldn’t be staying long
And where I’m going ain’t the kind of place
A woman can feel at home
I got a transatlantic ticket in my pocket
And I’ll soon be gone

Oh, we thought we’d draw
Just a little bit of love
Then say goodbye
What were we thinking of

She was smiling in the morning
But was crying in the afternoon
I had to tell her I was leaving
And I guess I went and told her too soon
Even though we said a sad goodbye
Was something we would not do
She was smiling in the morning
And crying in the afternoon
She was smiling in the morning
And crying in the afternoon
