lyrics

YOUR SMILE

VS1
WALKING ALONG ALL ON MY OWN
RAIN IN MY EYES CLOUDY SKIES
YOU CAME MY WAY LIT UP MY DAY
NOW I’M NOT LONELY ANY MORE

VS2
BUT ONCE UPON A LONELY TIME
I LOVED SOMEONE I THOUGHT WAS MINE
BUT THAT WASN’T TRUE - SHE WASN’T YOU
NOW THAT I’VE FOUND YOU NEVER LET YOU GO
NOW THAT I’VE FOUND YOU I WANT YOU TO KNOW

CH1
YOUR SMILE IS MY SUNSHINE IT LIGHTS UP MY DAY
YOUR LOVING IS SO FINE AND YOU’RE HERE TO STAY
YOU GIVE ME LOVE LIKE I NEVER KNEW
THANK THE STARS ABOVE THAT I’M LIVING FOR YOU

M8
TOOK ME NO TIME TO KNOW YOU’RE THE ONE
NOW I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT YOU HERE IN MY ARMS
AND YOU GIVE ME EVERYTHING – I CAN CLEARLY SEE
JUST HOW LUCKY HAVE BEEN

CH2
BABY YOUR SMILE IS MY SUNSHINE AND IT LIGHTS UP MY DAY
YOUR LOVING IS SO FINE AND YOU’RE HERE TO STAY
YOU GAVE ME LOVE LIKE I NEVER KNEW
AND YOU LIGHT THE SUN ABOVE AND NOW I’M LIVING FOR YOU

about

Barry Kingsbeer Stratford Upon Avon, UK

I've played bass and sung since I was 13. Pro back in the sixties for a while doing the beat group thing through to some spectacularly unsuccessful recordings. Over the years I've been lucky to have worked with some great players. I started writing songs in the 70s but not seriously until a few years ago. I write to please myself but if anyone likes anything that they hear here - that's a bonus. ... more
