Just One Smile

About Just One Smile

"Just One Smile" is a pop song written by Randy Newman in 1960. An early version was recorded by Gene Pitney in 1966. It appeared on his 1966 album, Looking Through the Eyes of Love, and AllMusic noted that it "allowed Pitney to explore the extent of his dramatic range with its tale of the giddy highs and painful lows of a love affair". The song became a Top 10 hit on the UK Singles Chart, although it failed to register in the Top 50 of the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 64. "Just One Smile" was Pitney's seventh consecutive Top Ten hit single in the UK."Just One Smile" was covered by Blood, Sweat & Tears on their 1968 album, Child Is Father to the Man. That version was just one of a number of covers of the song, which have been recorded by Dusty Springfield, Eternity's Children, Walter Jackson, Sheena Easton, and the Sensations, amongst others. For example, Marcia Hines covered the song on her Ladies and Gentlemen album (1977). The original version of the song was recorded by the Tokens in 1965, on the B-side to their single "The Bells Of St. Mary". more »

Can`t I cry? A little bit 
There`s nobody to notice it 
Can`t I cry if I want to 
No one cares 
 
Why can`t I pretend 
That you love me again 
All I've had has been taken from me 
Now I`m crying and tears don`t become me 
 
Just one smile the pain`s forgiven 
Just one kiss the hurt`s all gone 
Just one smile to make my life worth living 
A little dream to build my world upon 
 
How I wish I could say 
All the things that I want to say 
If some way you could see what`s in my heart 
I don`t ask for much 
A look, a smile, a touch 
Try to forget Lord knows I`m trying 
But it`s hard to forget when your whole world is dying 
 
(2x fading on 2nd) 
Just one smile the pain`s forgiven 
Just one kiss the hurt`s all gone 
Just one smile to make my life worth living 
A little dream to build my world upon
