The Sunshine of Your Smile

The following lyrics are taken from the sheet music published in 1913: Verse 1: :Dear face that holds so sweet a smile for me, :Were you not mine, how dark the world would be! :I know no light above that could replace :Love's radiant sunshine in your dear, dear face. Refrain: :Give me your smile, the love-light in your eyes, :Life could not hold a fairer Paradise! :Give me the right to love you all the while, :My world for ever, the sunshine of your smile! Verse 2: :Shadows may fall upon the land and sea, :Sunshine from all the world may hidden be; :But I shall see no cloud across the sun; :Your smile shall light my life, till life is done! Refrain: :Give me your smile, the love-light in your eyes, :Life could not hold a fairer Paradise! :Give me the right to love you all the while, :My world for ever, the sunshine of your smile! ==Recordings==
