You Wear a Smile
Jim Ed Brown and the Browns · It's That Time of Night [RCA] [1975]
I heard somebody loves me, wonder who
Well I hope they're right and I hope that someone's you
And if you'll only stay with me a while
I promise when you leave you'll wear a smile.
And I'll turn teardrops into love stops
That will be making while
Dawn is breaking without a tear in your eyes
I promise when you leave you'll wear a smile.
I heard somebody loves me, wonder who
Well I hope they're right and I hope that someone's you
And if you'll only stay with me a while
I promise when you leave you'll wear a smile.
--- Instrumental ---
Though we both know someday we may go
I'll spend my time making yours
A good time without a tear in your eyes
I promise when you leave you'll wear a smile.
I heard somebody loves me, wonder who
Well I hope they're right and I hope that someone's you
And if you'll only stay with me a while
I promise when you leave you'll wear a smile.
I heard somebody loves me, wonder who
Well I hope they're right and I hope that someone's you
And if you'll only stay with me a while
I promise when you leave you'll wear a smile...
