Everytime I See You Smiling

Rick Nelson · For Your Sweet Love [Decca] [1963]

(Dorsey Burnette - Joe Osborn)



Everytime I see you smiling

I see your love's so real

And everytime I see you smiling

Words can't explain the way I feel.



You made me king with the fortune

And told me that I can rule the world

It would take one thing more to make me happy

That would be your love little girl.



--- Instrumental ---



Everytime I see you smiling

I see your love's so real

And everytime I see you smiling

Words can't explain the way I feel.



You made me king with the fortune

And told me that I can rule the world

It would take one thing more to make me happy

That would be your love little girl...
