Smile, Smile, Smile

I spent time in the my studio today--just me, Josie, and some old songs (it was a wonderful day).  I heard the song "Powder Your Nose with Sunshine (Smile, Smile, Smile) and have been humming it ever since.  Take a minute and listen--you will love it!  This version is by Evelyn Knight and the Stardusters (1948).  

(available from iTunes)

Here are the lyrics:

"Powder Your Face With Sunshine"

Powder your face with sunshine

Put on a great big smile

Make up your eyes with laughter

Folks will be laughing with you in a little while

Whistle a tune of gladness

Blue never was in style

The future's brighter when hearts are lighter

So smile smile smile

Powder your face with sunshine

Put on a great big smile

Make up your eyes with laughter

Folks will be laughing with you in a little while

Whistle a tune of gladness

Blue never was in style

The future's brighter when hearts are lighter

Future's brighter, hearts are lighter

When you're wearing a great big smile
