I'll Be All Smiles Tonight

(A.P. Carter)



I'll deck my brow with roses

My loved one may be there

And gems that others gave me

I'll wear within my hair.



And even them that know me

Will say my heart is light

Though my heart may break tomorrow

I'll be all smiles tonight.



I'll be all smiles tonight love

I'll be all smiles tonight

Though my heart may break tomorrow

I'll be all smiles tonight.

And when the dance is over

And all have gone to rest

I'll think of him dear mother

The one that I love best.



He once did love believe me

But now has grown cold and strange

He sought not to deceive me

False friends have brought this change.



I'll be all smiles tonight love

I'll be all smiles tonight

Though my heart may break tomorrow

I'll be all smiles tonight...
