When Hilma Smiles
When Hilma smiles, the lights go on in heaven
And all the world seems peaceful and serene
She brightens every space with elegance and grace
She's had it all since she was sweet 16
When Hilma smiles, my cares fly out the window
And drift away just like a toy balloon
The first embrace we knew was just a prelude to a long and lasting sunny honeymoon
And now we're here, as white as winter
She's still as lovely as a daffodil in spring
I never knew before I knew her
That real romance was more than just a fancy flame
If you could hear the sunshine in her laughter
And see a face that beams just like a child's
Then surely you would know just why I love her so
The sun comes out when Hilma smiles
And now with a hair as white as winter
She's still as lovely as a daffodil in spring
I never knew before I knew her
That real romance was more than just a fancy flame
If you could hear the sunshine in her laughter
And see a face that beams just like a child's, then surely you would know
Just why I love her so
The sun comes out
When Hilma smiles
And all the world seems peaceful and serene
She brightens every space with elegance and grace
She's had it all since she was sweet 16
When Hilma smiles, my cares fly out the window
And drift away just like a toy balloon
The first embrace we knew was just a prelude to a long and lasting sunny honeymoon
And now we're here, as white as winter
She's still as lovely as a daffodil in spring
I never knew before I knew her
That real romance was more than just a fancy flame
If you could hear the sunshine in her laughter
And see a face that beams just like a child's
Then surely you would know just why I love her so
The sun comes out when Hilma smiles
And now with a hair as white as winter
She's still as lovely as a daffodil in spring
I never knew before I knew her
That real romance was more than just a fancy flame
If you could hear the sunshine in her laughter
And see a face that beams just like a child's, then surely you would know
Just why I love her so
The sun comes out
When Hilma smiles
