[Chorus]
You know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see, I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you
[Verse]
You came along just like a song
And brightened my day
Who'd have believed that you were part of a dream?
Now it all seems light-years away
[Chorus]
And now you know I can't smile without you (No I can't smile without you)
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see, I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile
[Bridge]
Now some people say happiness takes so very long to find
Well, I'm finding it hard leaving your love behind me
[Chorus]
And you see I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel glad when you're glad
(I feel sad) I feel sad when you're sad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you
[Outro]
(Can't smile without you
Can't smile without you
Can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything)
Can’t Smile Without You was written by Chris Arnold & David Martin & Geoff Morrow.
Can’t Smile Without You was produced by Barry Manilow & Ron Dante.
In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Barry Manilow said “Can’t Smile Without You” was one of his least favorite tunes to perform. He explained that he makes the song more palatable by:
…doing it as a duet with some member of the audience.
