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

You came along just like a song
And brighten my day
Who would have believed that you where part of a dream
Now it all seems light years away

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

Now some people say happiness takes so very long to find
Well, I'm finding it hard leaving your love behind me

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

    The joy of having someone in your life that you can't smile without is a life worth living. ;)

    I can't believe there aren't more comments on this classic song. To me, it perfectly illustrates what love is (or should be). The whistling at the beginning is a nice touch, too, and makes it memorable. It was featured at the beginning of Starsky and Hutch.

    this song shows true devotion. everything he has and is is because of one person but then it is taken away when that person leaves. that must be what it feels like to go through a divorce.
