Lyrics

Smile/how deep is the ocean?/this nearly was mine

Sing to me, mr. c., sing to me
The song that I've been waiting to hear
Just for me, mr. c., just for me
And everybody else will disappear . .

Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking!
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by!
If you smile through your fear an' sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through
For you!

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on tryin'
Smile, what's the use of cryin' ?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you'll just smile!

≪ instrumental break >

That's the time you must keep on tryin'
Smile, what's the use of cryin' ?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you'll just smile!

How much do I love you?
I'll tell you no lie
How deep is the ocean
How high is the sky?

How many times a day
Do I think of you?
How many roses
Are sprinkled with dew?

How far would I travel
To be where you are?
How far is the journey
From here to a star?

And if I ever lost you
How much would I cry?
How deep is the ocean
How high is the sky?

≪ instrumental break >

And if I ever lost you
How much would I cry?
How deep is the ocean
How high is the sky?

One dream in my heart
One love to be living for
One love to be living for
This nearly was mine!

One girl for my dreams
One partner in paradise
This promise of paradise
This nearly was mine!

Close to my heart she came
Only to fly away!
Only to fly as day
Flies from moonlight!

Now, now I'm alone
Still dreaming of paradise
Still sayin' that paradise
Once nearly was mine!

≪ instrumental break >

Only to fly as day
Flies from moonlight!

Now, now I'm alone
Still dreaming of paradise
Still sayin' that paradise
Once nearly was mine!

You are never far away from me
When we part I hold your memories
When day has flown . .
And through the lonely night
I'm not alone!
