Hi,

I'm looking for words to songs about smiles, such as:

It isn't any trouble just to SMILE Smile, when your heart Smile, smile, smile There are smiles

Either the whole song or even just choruses would be helpful.

Thanks to anyone who can help me.

Smiles
Lyrics by J. Will Callahan, Music by Lee S. Roberts
Copyright 1917 by Lee N. Roberts

Dearie, now I know
Just what makes me love you so,
Just what holds me and enfolds me,
In the 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.

CHORUS (2x)
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.

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 (2x)

Kaleidoscope,

This song does not appear to be in the DT. It is the first song that comes to mind.


ILLEGAL SMILE
by John Prine
As recorded by John Prine on "John Prine" (1971)

1. When I woke up this morning, things were lookin' bad,
Seemed like total silence was the only friend I had,
A bowl of oatmeal tried to stare me down ... and won,
And it was twelve o'clock before I realized I was havin' ... no fun.

CHORUS: Ah, but fortunately I have the key to escape reality.
And you may see me tonight with an illegal smile.
It don't cost very much, but it lasts a long while.
Won't you please tell the man I didn't kill anyone,
No, I'm just tryin' to have me some fun.

2. Last time I checked my bankroll it was gettin' thin.
Sometimes it seems like the bottom is the only place I've been.
I chased a rainbow down a one-way street ... dead end.
And all my friends turned out to be insurance ... salesmen. CHORUS

3. Well, I sat down in my closet with all my overalls,
Tryin' to get away from all the ears inside my walls.
I dreamed the police heard everything I thought ... what then?
Well, I went to court and the judge's name was ... Hoffman .

CHORUS FOLLOWED BY:
Well done, hot-dog bun, my sister's a nun.

"I'll Be All Smiles Tonight" does indeed mention smiling, but only through tears:

I'll be all smiles tonight, love I'll be all smiles tonight Though my heart may break tomorrow I'll be all smiles tonight

Not, I think what the original poster was looking for. Or am I wrong? PETE

Here's one that my sister used to sing when she was in the Brownies. I forgot line 3; you'll have to improvise. The tune is "Dapple Gray."

There is something in my pocket It belongs across my face ... A very special place.

I know you couldn't guess it If you guessed a long long while So I'll take it out and put it on It's a great, big Brownie Smile.

Isn't there something that goes "I'll put a smile on my face if it kills me". It's somewhere in the back of my mind, I just can't see through all the fog. Barry

How about "Let a smile be you're umbrella" and of course; "When you're smiling"

well, I'm looking for a song that has something about smiles, at least in the chorus. Rita Coolidge sang it circa 1970-72 and the chorus was approx - And you know who your friends are, By lookingintheir eyes/You know so you SMILE (sung over 3 notes smi-i-il)/But they never realise/What goes on inside every me and you/Keeps on a rolling on, keeps on a rolling on

If you have that please give it to the "who your friends are" thread

any songs about Mona Lisa?

I know Johnnie Cash did one called "give it away" or something. So I did a search on Cowpie which turned up dozens of hits.
