Your Smiling Face

Whenever I see your smiling face
I have to smile myself
Because I love you, yes I do

And when you give me that pretty little pout
It turns me inside out
There's something about you, baby
I don't know

Isn't it amazing a man like me
Can feel this way
Tell me how much longer
If it grows stronger every day
Oh, how much longer

Thought I was in love a couple of times before
With the girl next door
But that was long before I met you
Now I'm sure that I won't forget you

And I thank my lucky stars
That you are who you are
And not just another lovely lady
Sent down to break my heart

Isn't it amazing a man like me
Can feel this way
Tell me how much longer
If it grows stronger every day, yeah

No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong today
Whenever I see you smile at me
No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong today
Whenever I see your smiling face my way
(repeat to end)

Something in the Way She Moves

There's something in the way she moves,
Or looks my way, or calls my name,
That seems to leave this troubled world behind.
If I'm feeling down and blue,
Or troubled by some foolish game,
She always seems to make me change my mind.

Chorus:
'n'(and) I feel fine anytime she's around me now,
She's around me now
Almost all the time.
'n'(and) if I'm well you can tell that she's been with me now,
'n'(and) she's been with me now
Quite a long, long time
And I feel fine.

Every now and then the things I lean on lose their meaning,
And I find myself careening
Into places where I should not let me go.
-- she has the power to go where no one else can find me,
Yes, and to silently remind me
Of the happiness and good times that I know, you know.
Well I said I just got to know that:

It isn't what she's got to say
Or how she thinks or where she's been.
To me, the words are nice, the way they sound.
I like to hear them best that way -
It doesn't much matter what they mean,
Weh (when/well? ) she says them mostly just to calm me down.

Chorus:
'n'(and) I feel fine anytime she's around me now,
A-she's around me now
Almost all the time.
If I'm well you can tell that she's been with me now,
And she's been with me now
Quite a long,
Long
Time -
Yes, and I feel fine

You Can Close Your Eyes

Well the sun is surely sinking down

But the moon is slowly rising

So this old world must still be spinning around

And I still love you

So close your eyes

You can close your eyes

It's all right

I don't know no love songs

And I can't sing the blues anymore

But I can sing this song

And you can sing this song when I'm gone

It won't be long before another day

We're gonna have a good time

No one's gonna take that time away

You can stay as long as you like

So close your eyes

You can close your eyes

It's all right

I don't know no love songs

And I can't sing the blues anymore

But I can sing this song

And you can sing this song when I'm gone

Carolina In My Mind

In my mind I'm goin' to Carolina

Can't you see the sunshine

Can't you just feel the moonshine

Ain't it just like a friend of mine

It hit me from behind

Yes I'm gone to Carolina in my mind

Karen she's a silver sun

You best walk her way and watch it shinin'

Watch her watch the mornin' come

A silver tear appearing now

I'm cryin' ain't I

Gone to Carolina in my mind

There ain't no doubt it no ones mind

That loves the finest thing around

Whisper something soft and kind

And hey babe the sky's on fire,

I'm dyin' ain't I

Gone to Carolina in my mind

In my mind I'm goin' to Carolina

Can't you see the sunshine

Can't you just feel the moonshine

Ain't it just like a friend of mine

It hit me from behind

Yes I'm goin' to Carolina in my mind

Dark and silent late last night

I think I might have heard the highway calling

Geese in flight and dogs that bite

Signs that might be omens say I going, going

I'm gone to Carolina in my mind

With a holy host of others standing around me

Still I'm on the dark side of the moon

And it seems like it goes on like this forever

You must forgive me

If I'm up and gone to Carolina in my mind

In my mind I'm goin' to Carolina

Can't you see the sunshine

Can't you just feel the moonshine

Ain't it just like a friend of mine

It hit me from behind

Yes I'm gone to Carolina in my mind

Gone to Carolina in my mind

Then I'm on to Carolina in my mind

Gone to Carolina in my mind

Gone - I'm gone - I'm gone

Say nice things about me

'Cause I'm gone south

Carry on without me

'Cause I'm gone

You've got a friend



When you're down and troubled and you need a helping hand
and nothing, oh, nothing is going right.
Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there
to brighten up even your darkest nights.

You just call out my name, and you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you got to do is call and I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah,
you've got a friend.

If the sky above you should turn dark and full of clouds
and that old north wind should begin to blow,
keep your head together, call my name out loud, yeah.
Soon I'll be knocking upon your door.
You just call out my name, and you know wherever I am
I'll come running (oh, yes I will) to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you got to do is call and I'll be there yeah yeah yeah.

Hey, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend? People can be so cold.
They'll hurt you and desert you. Well, they'll take your soul if you let them,
oh yeah, but don't you let them.

You just call out my name, and you know wherever I am.
I'll come running to see you again.
(oh baby don't you know)
Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you got to do is call, Lord, I'll be there,yes i will
you've got a friend. You've got a friend.
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend. Ain't it good to know you've got a friend.
Oh, yeah, yeah, you've got a friend.
