  • I'll never smile again
    Until I smile at you
    I'll never laugh again
    What good would it do?

    For tears would fill my eyes
    My heart would realize
    That our romance is true

    I'll never love again
    I'm so in love with you
    I'll never thrill again
    To somebody new

    Within my heart
    I know I will never start
    To smile again
    Until I smile at you

    Within my heart
    I know I will never start
    To smile again
    Until I smile at you

    Until I smile at you Writer/s: Ruth Lowe
