Every Time I See You Smiling

Rick Nelson · 1963-75-Best Of The Later Year [1997]

(D. Burnette / J. Osborne)



Everytime I see you smiling

I see a love so real

And everytime I see you smiling

Words can't explain the way I feel.



If they made me king with a fortune

And told me that I could rule the world

It would take one thing more to make me happy

That would be your love little girl.



Everytime I see you smiling

I see a love so real

And everytime I see you smiling

Words can't explain the way I feel.



If they made me king with a fortune

And told me that I could rule the world

It would take one thing more to make me happy

That would be your love little girl.



That would be your love little girl.

That would be your love little girl...

Every Time I See You Smiling

Rick Nelson's "Every Time I See You Smiling" stands as a quintessential example of his smooth, baroque-pop style that defined the early 1960s. Recorded during the height of his career, the track showcases his signature falsetto and the lush orchestral arrangements typical of his work with Decca Records. Released on the compilation "1963-75-Best Of The Later Year," the song reflects the romantic and polished aesthetic that made Nelson a leading figure in the British Invasion era. Its enduring appeal lies in its melodic simplicity and emotional delivery, capturing the essence of pop music from the mid-1960s.
