    LYRICS
    Your Smiling Face by James Taylor
    Whenever I see your smiling face
    I have to smile myself
    Because I love you, yes, I do
    And when you give me that pretty little pout
    It turns me inside out
    There's something about you, baby
    I don't know
    Isn't it amazing a man like me
    Can feel this way
    Tell me how much longer
    It could grow stronger every day
    Oh, how much longer?
    I thought I was in love a couple of times
    Before with the girl next door
    But that was long before I met you
    Now I'm sure that I won't forget you
    And I thank my lucky stars
    That you are who you are
    And not just another lovely lady
    Set out to break my heart
    Isn't it amazing a man like me
    Can feel this way
    Tell me how much longer
    It could grow stronger every day
    How much longer?
    No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong today, whenever I see you smile at me
    No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong today
    Whenever I see your smiling face my way
    No one can tell me that I'm doing it wrong today
    No one can tell me that I'm doing it wrong today, no, no, darling
    La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
    Ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye

    James Taylor is performing with a stellar band behind him on this one. Danny Kortchmar, Lee Sklar, Waddy Wachtel. It does not get much better. Smilling Face was always a standout song from J T.

    What an all-star band he has here. I know you musicians out there know all these faces. Waddy Watchel guitar, Danny Kortchmar guitar, Leland Sklar bass, and Russ Kunkel on drums. One of these guys has played on every hit song in 70’s and 80’s

    My family and I love James and this song---and have for years. This song was selected for the "mother-son" dance at our son's recent wedding as we both listened to it over and over while driving around together when he was younger. You are the best, James Taylor!

    Russ Kunkel drumming away with all that long hair! 😆 His appearance may have changed, but he is still a master drummer. I've had the joy of watching him play with The Immediate Family, along with Danny Kortchmar, Waddy Wachtel, Leland Sklar, and Steve Postell, the new kid in town. Great musicians who play for the joy of it stay great musicians.
