Smile

From the work Songs of 1974

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.
