Cant Smile Without You

Cant Smile Without You was made famous by Barry Manilow in the late 1970s. It was originally recorded by David Martin and later by Manilow.

You know I can't smile without you
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

You came along just like a song
and brighten my day
who would of believed that you where part of a dream
Now it all seems light years away
(And now you know) I can't smile without you
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

Now some people say happiness takes so very long to find
Well, I'm finding it hard leaving your love behind me

And you see I can't smile without you
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
