Lyrics
Lyrics:
Skies of love are grey, Shadows on my way, And my heaert is aching For a cheering ray. Dearest, in your eyes, Bid the sun arise, In a smile that's making Life a perfect day.
Refrain
Only a smile, but for me twill hold, All I am longing to know; Telling that story, the sweetest told, Saying: Dear, I love you so! Bid shadowed skies of my hope grow fair, Send your dear eyes shinging through! Grant me the joy of my heart's one pray'r Only a smile from you!
