SMILES
(J. Will Callahan & Lee S. Roberts)

[Verse 1] Dearie, now I know
Just what makes me love you so,
Just what holds me and enfolds me
In its golden glow;
Dearie, now I see
‘Tis each smile so bright and free,
For life’s sadness turns to gladness when you smile on me.

[Refrain] There are smiles that make us happy,
There are smiles that make us blue,
There are smiles that steal away the teardrops
As the sunbeams steal away the dew,
There are smiles that have a tender meaning
That the eyes of love alone may see,
And the smiles that fill my life with sunshine
Are the smiles that you give to me

[Verse 2] Dearie, when you smile
Ev’ry thing in life’s worthwhile,
Love grows fonder as we wander
Down each magic mile;
Cheery melodies
Seem to float up on the breeze,
Doves are cooing while they’re wooing
In the leafy trees.

[Chorus]


Detroit, New York: Jerome H. Remick & Co. (1918)

The page the late Sorcha linked to isn't there any more but Internet Archive has this result archived for that URL.

Bless her soul, but Sorcha and many others posted links to crap lyrics in the early years of Mudcat Although the lyrics in this particular link Sorcha posted are accurate, they are not documented as to source. We leave these links as posted in case anybody wants to research them, but we certainly don't want them repeated. Over the years, we have worked hard to replace those crappy links with actual links from documented sources.
