James Hersch - Smiling Jack Lyrics

Smiling Jack is off again
I wonder what he's thinking
He won't be back until he's been
The full length of the kitchen
I I had a lot of money
If I had all kinds of time
I'd give myself to Smiling Jack
Each minute, every dime

Smiling Jack's a climbing man
And he aims to climb the table
Cause he wants to be just as high as me
And I'll catch him if I'm able
I know there will be bruises
And I know there will be scars
But I'll not keep his little hand
From reaching for the stars

Smiling Jack is sleeping still
I listen to the breathing
Time will change the both of us
And I know someday he'll be leaving
Let me watch him from a distance
Let me hold him while I can
And by and by they'll
Turn my Smiling Jack into a man

Smiling Jack is off again
I wonder where he's going
