Song: Can't Smile Without You -- The Carpenters

Friday, time to relax the mind and soul. Bringing to you a beautiful song by the Carpenters. After all that gusty wind and pouring rain, it is time to slow down.

How to relax? You need some kind of hush. One of my all-time-favourites, "Can't Smile Without You".

From the album,

Romantic, heart-warming, endearing are just a few words to describe this song, but I'm sure you'll have your  own special feelings when you listen to it. Have a great weekend!

Can't Smile Without You




You know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh, and I can't sleep
Finding it hard even to talk
And I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
And you must know what I'm goin' thru
I just can't smile, without you

You came along just like a song
You brightened my day
Who'd believe you were part of a dream
That only seemed light years away

And you know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
And you must know what I'm goin' thru
I just can't smile, without you

Some people say the happiness wave
Is somethin' that's hard to find
Into the new leavin' the old behind me
And I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
And you must know what I'm goin' thru
I just can't smile, without you

Into the new, leaving the old behind me
And I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
And you must know what I'm goin' thru
I just can't smile, without you

You must know what I'm goin' thru
I just can't smile, without you
