Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see, I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you
[Verse 2]
You came along just like a song
And brightened my day
Who would have believed that you were part of a dream?
Now it all seems lightyears away
[Verse 3]
And now you know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see, I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile
[Verse 4]
Now some people say
Happiness takes so very long to find
Well, I'm finding it hard
Leaving your love behind me
[Verse 5]
And you see, I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see, I feel glad when you're glad
I feel sad when you're sad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you
