Tragic Love Song.

I'll Be All Smiles Tonight, Love.
I'll deck my brow with roses.
The loved one may be there
The gems that others gave me will shine within my hair And even those that know me will think my heart is light though my heart should break to morrow,
I'll be all smiles tonight.
I'll be all smiles to night love, I'll be all smiles to
night. Though my heart may break to morrow I'll be all smiles tonight.
