Smile (a word)

[Rick Henry]

List Carpenters/Karen songs which you feel are associated or fit well with the word "Smile"...

I will start off with the obvious "Sweet, Sweet Smile"...

[YesterdayOnceMore]

Can't Smile Without You

Get Together (come on people now smile on your brother)

Yesterday Once More (it makes me smile)

I'll come back with some more, maybe!

[GoodOldDreams]

He seemed so glad to see me I just smiled... (Still Crazy After All These Years)

It's not the way you smile that touched my heart... (Baby It's You)

And when the evening comes we smile... (We've Only Just Begun)

And when he smiles... (And When He Smiles)

And you'll always smile it's all worthwhile... (I Won't Last a Day without You)

The endless crowds of faces just keep on wearing a smile... (Road Ode)

Make me smile make me glow... (Make Me Laugh)

Good ones, Dreams. I love reading your posts ... and this one in particular, because of the nice graphic. Great pic of R & K!

Isn't it nice to talk about the special way
That you smile whenever I'm around
...from Maybe It's You



Sometimes I see her bending over your shoulder
I think what lies has she told you
And I see a smile light up your face
...from The Uninvited Guest



I need your smile so warm and bright
I wish my mind could let you go
...from Where Do I Go From Here

[Rick Henry]

"I want you to SMILE and be polite" from "B'wana She No Home"


"Happy is the way I'm feelin' and I know it comes from being with you" and "Laughter never came so easily. There's a freedom here that's new to me." - from the song "Happy"... the word smile isn't in this song... but the song is full of smiles in my mind as I listen to it.


"I've been livin' memories lost in the warm of your smile" - from "If We Try" on Karen's solo album.


"Son of a gun we'll have big fun on the bayou"... from "Jambalaya"... another song full of jubilant smiles... although the word "smile" itself is not in the song.


"I'd love to think what your smile is leading to"... as mentioned in the song "Remember When Lovin' Took All Night" from Karen's solo album.


"I like the way you move so much that I guess I just lost my head" - "Guess I Just Lost My Head" from Karen's solo album... this song has a somewhat flirtatious smiley feel to it.

Three that come to mind that don't contain the word "smile" but seem to have a nostalgic, smiling theme to them would be: "Crystal Lullaby", "Sometimes" and "Good Friends Are For Keeps."

"Jimmy Mack" one of the unreleased songs from Karen's solo album really has a fun feel to it. I imagine Karen smiling bright as she so joyfully sings this tune.

[Ming]

I also smile when I listen to 'Jimmy Mack'.

P.S. Sorry for not visiting here for a long time. It was the Chinese New Year Holiday and after the holiday, I had a cold. Everything is back to normal now and I have recovered my health.

How about from Richard's album now? From "I'm Still Not Over You" he begins with "Just today I saw you smile...."

[Rick Henry]

Pretty much every song from Karen's solo album has the feeling of a "smile" in it. I can imagine that when Karen was recording these songs she had a smile in her heart as her voice is especially uplifting on songs like "Making Love In The Afternoon", "Still In Love With You" and "Guess I Just Lost My Head".
