"Smile For Me" — a gentle request from the Bee Gees' early catalogue.
Smile for me
Don't let me see you crying
For you must keep on trying
To pretend that you don't care
Smile for me
If only for a moment
And even though I'm far away
My heart will stay with you
One moment of sadness
Brings you gladness
And you will learn
While I'm away
You must pray for my return
Smile for me
If only for a moment
And even though I'm far away
My heart will stay with you
One moment of sadness
Brings you gladness
And you will learn
While I'm away
You must pray for my return
Smile for me
Though there's no need for sorrow
Just wait until tomorrow
I'm home again
So, smile for me
For me
For me...
