I still love the smell The sweet smell of incense Since the prayers and the bells Made complete sense Most of all I loved benediction With an innocent child's conviction
Innocence Sweet smell of innocence
I remember the lights On the Christmas tree And the waiting in turn To see what he brought me Oh the joy, the love and belief And the Christmas lullabies Singing me to sleep
Innocence Sweet smell of innocence
Between the past And whatever the future sends I choose innocence
I remember the taste Of the first kiss by the river And the promises we'd keep Forever and ever I still love the smell Of my innocent years And I choose innocence After my tears
Innocence Sweet smell of innocence Sweet smell of innocence
