Hear the original honky tonk version here:    • 1960s Country Ballad Duet - 'First A Smile...  

Experience the raw, unfiltered heartache of "First a Smile Then a Kiss Now a Tear" in this intimate Piano Session. By stripping away the production, this version echoes the legendary Nashville studio sound, placing the story of love and loss front and center.

This acoustic arrangement highlights the narrative's tragic arc—from the initial spark of a smile to the devastating reality of a life-changing diagnosis. It is a tribute to the golden age of traditional country music, echoing the somber, soul-baring sessions of icons like Loretta Lynn or Tammy Wynette. In this quiet space, the lyrics carry the full weight of the grief.

Lyrics:
You caught me looking, I saw a smile
I hadn’t seen one in quite a while
My waiting was over, hmmm
We danced together, I got a kiss
I can’t remember when I felt like this
So happy together, hmmm

First a smile, then a kiss, now a tear

The days that followed, our love grew
Things were perfect for me and you
Our waiting was over, hmmm
All I dreamed for and all I planned
Was right here with me in my hand
So happy together, hmmm


First a smile, then a kiss, now a tear
Ain’t it tragic, ain’t it strange
With just one x-ray, my life changed
My waiting’s now over, hmmm

So smile down on me once again
In dreams I’ll kiss you like back then
No longer together, hmmm

First a smile, then a kiss, now a tear
First a smile, then a kiss, now a tear
