Cherokee Smile

Cherokee Smile Lyrics by Mack Hollowpoint Arrangement by M.H.B. I run out to the woods just to lay back Looking up at that blue sky Giving mother nature a chance to sing back And there I drift off to her song Yeah, I had a front seat to the show I thought I was the only ticket sold But when I opened my eyes, I saw a Cherokee smile With cinnamon skin that just stood there for a while And all I could do was get lost in that smile She didn’t say a word, just stood in the light Like she’d been there all along Wind through the trees carried something soft Like a half-forgotten song And just like that she was gone Thunder rolled and lightning cracked But I got up slow and walked my way back I wouldn’t mind meeting up with that Cherokee smile For another while, yeah that cinnamon skin But oh, that smile She didn’t say a word, just stood in the light Like she’d been there all along Wind through the trees carried something soft Like a half-forgotten song I stood there where the silence stayed Long after the storm rolled through Like the woods still held her memory In every shade of blue I came out here to be alone Just me and the sky above But I walked back with somethin’ more That I still can’t quite speak of But oh, that Cherokee smile Yeah, it's been too long of a while
