lyrics

“Smiling Blue”
Words and Music by Karen Ballew

Joyful laughter fills the room
And I can’t help laughin’ too
Who can help it when they see that radiant smile?
As the sun lights up the sky
So the kindness in your eyes
Warms my heart, even when I’m feelin’ low.

CHORUS
Mi esperanza, mi corazón
You are my hope, light of my heart
Sonrientes ojos azules
You are my eyes of smiling blue

You surprise me everyday
In your patient, caring way
That inspires the better part of me.
You trust and you believe
In a love that can achieve
Greater things than we will ever know!

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Joyful your spirit sings,
Just as the bells ring,
Morning birds echo your song.

Pájaros cantan,
Suenan campanas
Con alegría, como tú.

CHORUS
You are my eyes of smiling blue.
