"Smile A Little Smile For Me" was a US hit for The Flying Machine, who were a pop band from the UK. The song is a story of a boy (possibly a love interest or a friend) that is telling a girl named Rose Marie that she needs to get over the boy that has left her. The singer is telling her to smile and is hoping that one day she'll smile just for him. Some members of The Flying Machine went to from the one hit wonder band Edison Lighthouse, who recorded the hit song "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)
You really should accept This time he's gone for good He'll never come back now Even though he said he would So, darling, dry your eyes So many other guys Would give the world I'm sure To wear the shoes he wore Oh, come on Smile a little smile for me, Rosemarie What's the use in cryin'? In a little while you'll see, Rosemarie You must keep on tryin' I know that he hurt you bad I know, darling, don't be sad and Smile a little smile for me, Rosemarie, Rosemarie I guess you're lonely now Love's comin' to an end But, darling, only now Are you free to start again Lift up your pretty chin Don't let those tears begin You're a big girl now And you'll pull through somehow Oh, come on Smile a little smile for me, Rosemarie What's the use in cryin'? In a little while you'll see, Rosemarie You must keep on tryin' I know that he hurt you bad I know, darling, don't be sad and Smile a little smile for me, Rosemarie, Rosemarie Smile a little smile for me, Rosemarie, Rosemarie
