"I Just Cannot Keep From Smiling"

I just cannot keep from smiling
When the sun's shining down on me,
And I feel its beams on my face, brightn'ing
It into a smile, and making the world all gleam--

Gleam with vivacity, with radiant joy,
Sparkle with beauty of life like a gem,
Yet milder and gentler, with a light somewhat coy,
All a smile beaming brightly... And then

The worries, they all give way to the wave
Of mild happiness flowing through me--
For living and breathing, for feeling safe,
For seeing and hearing, for wonders, for wandering free,

For all the joys and excitements of life...
Is it so very surprising
That, once I see that curl of beams in the sky,
I just cannot keep from smiling?!
