Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Make a smile for me
Lately, I've been so lonely
And a smile from you
Might make these blues go away
[Verse 2]
Stay awhile with me
Can't you tell I've been lonely
And a smile from you
Might make it a nicer day
[Verse 3]
Close your eyes and dream of a sunny place
Watch the world light up when you smile
Stay with me and smile at me, sunny face
Chase the clouds away with your smile
[Verse 4]
Make a smile for me
Lately, I've been so lonely
And a smile from you
Might make these blues go away
[Verse 5]
Stay awhile with me
Can't you tell I've been lonely
And a smile from you
Might make it a nicer day
[Verse 6]
Close your eyes and dream of a sunny place
Watch the world light up when you smile
Stay with me and smile at me, sunny face
Chase the clouds away with your smile
[Verse 7]
Your smile
Your smile
Your smile
