[Arthur Penn] Smilin' through

Smilin' through Music & Text: Arthur A. Penn (1875 - 1941) There's a little brown road windin' over the hill To a little white cot by the sea: There's a little green gate at whose trellis I wait, While two eyes of blue come smilin' through At me! There's a grey lock or two in the brown of the hair; There's some silver in mine, too, I see; But in all the long years, when the clouds brought their tears, Those two eyes of blue kept smilin' through At me! And if ever I'm left in this world all alone I shall wait for my call patiently For if Heaven be kind I shall wake there to find Those two eyes of blue still smilin' through At me!

Through the years Music: Vincent Youmans (1931) Text: Edward Heyman Through the years, I’ll take my place beside you, Smiling through the years. Through your tears, I’ll keep my place beside you, Smiling through your tears. I’ll be near, No matter when or where. Remember what is mine I’ll always share. Through the night, I’ll be a star to guide you. Shining bright, Though clouds may come and hide you. Through the years, ‘Til love is gone And time first disappears. I’ll come to you, Smiling through the years.
