Molly Smiles
Jesse Spencer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Daddy´s little child breathes new life to the morning time for me
Though we´re apart, her thoughts follow me
When I come home, Molly smiles with the dawn
Molly smiles, and she radiates the glow around her halo
When she plays, Molly smiles
On a summer day, Molly smiles
A new day, Molly smiles
Daddy´s little girl ties a ribbon around my heart
Daddy´s little child waves goodbye to the ocean tide that sweeps me
Though we´re apart, she´s a part of me
Molly smiles with the dawn
Molly smiles and she radiates the glow around her halo
When she plays, Molly smiles
On a summer day, Molly smiles
A new day, Molly smiles
When I come home, Molly smiles with the dawn
Molly smiles and she radiates the glow around her halo
When she plays, Molly smiles
On a summer day, Molly smiles
A new day, Molly smiles
When the days have gone grey,
Nothing´s wrong when Molly smiles
The song "Molly Smiles" by Jesse Spencer is a beautiful ode to a father's love for his daughter. In the opening verse, the lyrics, "Daddy's little girl paints the world with her magic wand" and "Daddy's little child breathes new life to the morning time for me", demonstrate the depth and significance of their bond. Despite being apart, her thoughts remain with him, and upon his return, he is met with her beaming smile that "radiates the glow around her halo".
The chorus, "When she plays, Molly smiles", reinforces the happiness and joy that this little girl brings into her father's life. Her innocence and carefree attitude are captured in the lyrics, "On a summer day, Molly smiles, A new day, Molly smiles". As their day-to-day routines can become mundane, Molly's smile brings light and positivity to his life. The final line, "When the days have gone grey, Nothing's wrong when Molly smiles", is a reminder of the unconditional love that one can receive from their child, and how it can alleviate even the darkest of days.
