I’ll Be All Smiles Tonight

I'll deck my brow with roses the loved ones may be thereAnd gems that others gave me will shine within my hairAnd even those who know me will think my heart in lightThough my heart may break tomorrow, I'll be all smiles tonight

I'll be all smiles tonight, Love, I'll be all smiles tonightThough my heart may break tomorrow, I'll be all smiles tonight

Oh when the dance commences, Oh how I will rejoiceI'll sing the songs he taught me without a faulting voiceWhen the flattering ones come around me they'll think my heart is lightThough my heart may break tomorrow, I'll be all smile tonight

And when the room he entered with a bride upon his armI stood and gazed upon him as though he was a charmAnd once he smiled upon her as once he'd smiled at meThey knew not what I suffered, they found no change in me

And when the dance is over and all have gone to restI'll think of him, dear Mother, the one that I love bestHe once did love me dearly and ne'er from me would partHe sought not to deceive me, false friends have changed his heart
