Welcome to the Mudcat, Claire. Are these the ones you are looking for?

From Steve Forbert's website:

WHEN THE SUN SHINES

Down comes the pounding rain, and dark are the skies up above me
But you'll be mine when the sun shines
Racing to catch late trains, and waiting while crowds push and shove me
But you'll be mine when the sun shines
When the sun shines and I see your face
All my long nights will melt into space
Nobody speaks my name soft like it sounds when you love me
But you'll be mine when the sun shines
When the sun shines and I see your face
All my long nights will melt into space
And that's when I won't look back
And I won't sing a thing about sorrow
Cause you'll be mine when the sun shines
Train on a countdown track still a few miles from tomorrow
But you'll be mine when the sun shines
And you'll be mine when the sun shines

This may not be the right one, but...

From the sheet music at the National Library of Australia:

THE SUNSHINE OF YOUR SMILE
Words by Leonard Cooke, music by Lilian Ray
Published in London by Francis, Day and Hunter in 1913.

1. Dear face that holds so sweet a smile for me,
Were you not mine, how dark the world would be!
I know no light above that could replace
Love's radiant sunshine in your dear, dear face.

CHORUS: Give me your smile, the love-light in your eyes,
Life could not hold a fairer Paradise!
Give me the right to love you all the while,
My world for ever, the sunshine of your smile!

2. Shadows may fall upon the land and sea,
Sunshine from all the world may hidden be;
But I shall see no cloud across the sun;
Your smile shall light my life, till life is done! CHORUS

That's the one, recorded by Mike Berry in 1980. Actually it's an old Sinatra number.

Harold:

Usually it's best to start a new thread when asking about a different song, rather than asking a question in a discussion about something else; also, we have a very good search engine (the "Digitrad and Forum Search" on the main Forum page) which will often find things for you if you give it a try.  A search for sunshine of your smile came up with this:  Sunshine of Your Smile  -the song was written in 1913, apparantly, so may well be the one you're looking for.

There's also a set of sheet music at the  Lester Levy Sheet Music Collection  which you might like to have a look at:  THE SUNSHINE OF YOUR SMILE  (Leonard Cooke / Lillian Ray, 1915)

Thank you so much! Yes! That is the song! A fellow called Malcom sent me an e-mail and told me to go into the site since there had been a reply to my query. I rarely use these sites. I am an author and basically uee the compute as a word processor and to access sites for info on the places i write about. In my present book, angela jackson, an angel returned to earth, sincs all songs and all music inthe style odf the genre and the time. She is a singing angel! I remember how the music goes but if I could get a tape or a midi where it is sung in the old style I would be overjoyed. So: Is it the same song that Sinatra recorded in 1980 or therabouts? Thank you, R. Harold Schuller

THE SUNSHINE OF YOUR SMILE
(L.Cooke / L.Ray)

Mike Berry


Dear face that holds so sweet a smile for me
Were you not mine, how dark this world would be
I know no light above that could replace
Love's radiant sunshine in your lovely face.

Give me a smile, the love-light in your eyes
Life could not hold a sweeter paradise
Give me the right to love you all the while
My world forever, the sunshine of your smile.

Shadows may fall across the land and sea
Sunshine from all the world may hidden be
But I shall see no clouds across the sun
Your smile shall light my life till life is done.

Give me a smile, the love-light in your eyes
Life could not hold a sweeter paradise
Give me the right to love you all the while
My world forever, the sunshine of your smile
My world forever, the sunshine of your smile.
