Song Lyric Sunday was created by Helen Vahdati from This Thing Called Life One Word at a Time. For complete rules or to join in the fun, click here.
The theme for Song Lyric Sunday this week is “smile.”
Couldn’t miss a chance to go back to the 70s, could I? 😀
Originally recorded by The Carpenters and released on their May 1976 album, A Kind of Hush, Can’t Smile Without You was recorded by Barry Manilow in 1977 and released on his 1978 album, Even Now.

Can’t Smile Without You
by Barry Manilow
Written by Chris Arnold, David Martin, Geoff Morrow
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
And brighten my day
Who would have believed that you where part of a dream
Now it all seems light years away
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 your sad
I feel glad when you’re glad
If you only knew what I’m going through
I just can’t smile
Well, I’m finding it hard leaving your love behind me
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
