[Part I: Make Me Smile]

[Verse 1: Terry Kath]
Children play in the park, they don't know
I'm alone in the dark, even though
Time and time again I see your face smiling inside-ide

[Chorus 1: All, (Terry Kath)]
I'm so happy (Oh yeah)
That you love me (Oh yeah)
Life is lovely (It is, oh)
When you're near me
Tell me, you will stay?
Make me smile

[Verse 2: Terry Kath]
Living life is just a game
So they say
All the games
We used to play
Fade away, ooh
We may now enjoy those dreams we shared
So long ago

[Chorus 2: All, (Terry Kath)]
Oh, my darling (Oh oh)
Got to have you (Oh yеah)
Do your magic (Ooh ooh whoa)
When I hold you
Cry sweet tears of joy
Touch the sky
