Can't Smile Without You

Some days might be lyrics days, and on a rainy day like today, an uplifting song seems necessary.

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 brightened my day
Who'd have believed that you were part of a dream
Now it all seems light years away

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

I learned this song from one of my favorite films, Unconditional Love (2002, PG-13): Kathy Bates, Dan Aykroyd, Rupert Everett, and Jonathan Price in a clever comedy about a mid-life crisis, coming out of the closet, and a cross-bow killer.
