As recorded by HENRY BURR & ALBERT CAMPBELL:


Dearie, now I know just what makes me love you so
Just what holds me and enfolds me in its golden glow
Dearie, now I see ?????? smiles so bright and free
For life's sadness turns to gladness when you smile on me

There are smiles that make us happy
There are smiles that make us blue
There are smiles that steal away the teardrops
As the sunbeams steal away the dew

There are smiles that have a tender meaning
That the eyes of love alone may see
And the smiles that fill my life with sunshine
Are the smiles that you give to me

Dearie, when you smile, ev'rything in life's worthwhile
Love grows fonder as we wander down each magic mile
Dearie, melodies seem to float upon the breeze
Doves are cooing while they're wooing in the leafy trees

(Instrumental Break)

There are smiles that have a tender meaning
That the eyes of love alone may see
And the smiles that fill my life with sunshine
Are the smiles that you give to me
You give to me

As recorded by JUDY GARLAND, April 6th 1937:


If you just stop to think, here's the lesson for you
What a word or a smile can convey
With a word you can make someone happy or blue
With a smile you can make them sad or gay

So, be careful what you say and be careful how you smile
It's so easy for us to make someone's life worthwhile

There are smiles that make us happy
There are smiles that make us blue
There are smiles that steal away the teardrops
Like the sunbeams steal away the dew

There are smiles that have a tender meaning
That the eyes of love alone can see
But the smiles that fill my life with sunshine
Are the smiles that you gave to me
