Smile
Pussycat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There were days I couldn't weep
nights I couldn't sleep
And ev'ry thing I did just turned out wrong
Till there was you to dry my tears

Whisper love-words in my ears and this is why
I'm glad you came along.
Now there's a smile to cheer me up when I'm lonely
That I can call whenever I'm feeling down.
Smile
and you know that I'm only
Longing for the minute you'll be around.
Help me 'cause I'm trying to get over

The way I thought of love many times before
If ever you should go away and nobody else would be near.
There's always a smile to remember that you were here.
If I could fly I flew away to a bright blue summer-day

Tryin' to share my love with you for evermore.
Darling you made my life complete

You're ev'ry thing I need
I'll never be
The same I was before.





Now there's a smile to cheer me up when I'm lonely. . .

This is live singing ladies and gentlemen, Toni got one of the best voices of the 70s if not one of the best of all time, I really love her

@jamesparr4382

Totally agree what a voice...don't think She got the credit She deserved...shame...😢❤

@mikeparcej839

I'm probably the only person that thinks this is better than Mississippi!! My favourite song from 1977.

@glennandric6846

And maybe I'm the second! Cheers😄

@suzanneberger8202

Toni has a unique voice with a good range and power. They sing well together...super songs. Glad I found them browsing YT...the Dutch are the greatest singers!

@Guillaume2606

As long as they don't sing in Dutch!!

@nelsonlobato9630

Dear Toni, Smile, in my humble opinion, one of the best songs and presentation, I never tire of reviewing it every day! Beautiful work!!!

@stefanwohlke7502

Ich bedanke mich bei allen, die uns auf YouTube mit dieser tollen Musik aus längst vergangenen Zeiten verwöhnen.

@robert32634

the lead singer has one of the best voices i've ever heard; natural and no artifice. The smallest singer is a natural beauty.

@unamckillen7125

The smallest one is, I think, Betty. She is lovely here. She was the lead singer previously but the powers-that-be wanted Toni. It is a tribute to their close family relationship that there is clearly no resentment. Betty has a sweet, softer voice.
