I'LL BE ALL SMILES TO-NIGHT
Waltz song.
Words and music by T. B. Ransom.
As published by T. B. Harms & Co., New York, 1879.

1. I’ll deck my brow with roses, And join the throng so fair;
Bright jewels that he gave me, Will shine within my hair;
And even those who know me, Will think my heart is light!
If my heart should break to-morrow, I’ll be all smiles to-night,

CHORUS: I’ll be all smiles to-night; I’ll be all smiles to-night.
If my heart should break to-morrow, I’ll be all smiles to-night.

2. When in the door he enters, His bride upon his arm,
I’ll strive to gaze upon them, And he so cold and calm.
And while he smiles upon her, As oft he smiled on me,
Ah! there’s none will know I suffer, Tho’ in pain my heart shall be,

3. Oh! when the dance is over, And all have gone to rest,
I’ll think of him, dear mother, Whom I once loved the best.
And tho’ my heart is breaking, I never shall repine;
For I’ll wish him ev’ry gladness, Who never can be mine.
