Lyrics

You know, I (G)can’t smile with out you.

I can’t smile with out you.

I (Am7)can’t laugh and I can’t sing.

I’m (D7)find ing it hard to do an y thing.

You see, I (G)feel sad when you’re sad.

I feel glad when you’re glad.

If (Am7)you on ly knew what I’m go ing through;

I just can’t smile

with out (G)you.

(G)You came a long

(Em)just like a song and (Am)bright ened my day.

Who’d a be lieved that you were (G)part of a dream?

(Em)Now it all seems

(Am)light years a way.

And now you know I (Dsus)smile.

(D)Now, (Dm)some peo ple say

hap pi ness takes

(G7)so ver y long to (C)find.

Well, I’m (Cm)find ing it hard

(Adim)leav ing your love be (G)hind

(Gsus)me.

You see, I (C)can’t smile with out you.

I can’t smile with out you, if (Dm7)you on ly knew what I’m go ing through;

I just can’t (G)smile

with out (C)you.
