Smiley - Ronnie Burns

Smiley, you’re out in the world today

Smiley, you’re all on your own

Smiley, hey, they say you’re a man today

Boy, how you’ve grown

Yesterday, there was laughter and songs to sing

Yesterday, we had lovin' to burn

Yet today, that war has peace to bring

When will they learn?

Smiley

You’re off to the Asian war (Ooh, Smiley)

And we won’t see you smile no more (Ooh, Smiley)

No, we won’t see you smile no more (Ooh, no more smiles)

No more laughter in the air (Ah)

No more laughter in the air (Ah)

Feel the tension in the air (Ah)

Where is love? (Where is love?)

Ha

Smiley, you’re out in the world today

Smiley, you’re all on your own

Smiley, hey, the family said to say

Wish you were home

Smiley

You’re off to the Asian war (Ooh, Smiley)

And we won’t see you smile no more (Ooh, Smiley)

No, we won’t see you smile no more (Ooh, no more smiles)

No more laughter in the air (Ah)

No more laughter in the air (Ah)

Feel the tension in the air (Ah)

Where is love? (Where is love?)

No more laughter in the air (Ah)

No more laughter in the air (Ah)

Feel the tension in the air (Ah)

When will they learn? (Ah, ah, ah)
