At Mr. Sainbury's counter she looked cute

The dairy maid met the boy in a sailor suit

"Will you marry me" he said on their first date

Sailor boys were never ones to wait

Two hearts entwined

And I love you for the smile you left behind

They had a son in nine months to the day

He chose the submarines for better pay

He worked hard you can see the care he took

I know because I've seen it in his book

It's underlined

And I love you for the smile you left behind

When you passed away the doves flew out of reach

I saw his name and wept on Southsea beach

I framed a photograph that you had missed

The words "I Love you" written on his wrist

Life's so unkind

But I love you for the smile you left behind
