Composer: Roger D. Linder
When the morning sun is in your eyes and you smile
There's a glow that I can see for many miles
Please smile for me
Walk awhile with me
Just smile, oh smile
Everyday I live to have you for my own
Looking back I can see our love has grown
Lay down by my side
There's no love to hide
And smile, oh smile
When you wake up in the morning and the sunlight fills your eyes
There's nothing like dawning to help you realize
That only love can carry on
That only love can do what you want
When the morning sun is in your eyes and you smile
There's a glow that I can see for many miles
Please smile for me
Walk awhile with me
And smile, oh smile, yes smile, smile
Commentary
Written March 5 & 6, 1974. I had been dating my now-wife for about a month and this is about her. The first song I'd written that has a time signature change in the middle of the song.
