Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
Dear face that holds so sweet a smile for me
Were you not mine, how dark the world would be
I know no light above that could replace
Love’s radiant sunshine in your dear, dear face
Refrain
Give me your smile
The lovelight in your eyes
Life could not hold
A fairer paradise
Give me the right
To love you all the while
My world forever
The sunshine of your smile
- Shadows may fall upon the land and sea
Sunshine from all the world may hidden be
But I shall see no cloud across the sun
Your smile shall light my life, ’till life is done
