Verse

                                 F                 C
I’ll deck my brow with roses the loved ones may be there
    G7                                            C
And gems that others gave me will shine within my hair
                                F                 C
And even those who know me will think my heart in light
G7                                                     C
Though my heart may break tomorrow, I’ll be all smiles tonight

Chorus

                                       F             C
I’ll be all smiles tonight, Love, I’ll be all smiles tonight
G7                                                     C
Though my heart may break tomorrow, I’ll be all smiles tonight

Verse

Oh when the dance commences, Oh how I will rejoice
I’ll sing the songs he taught me without a faulting voice
When the flattering ones come around me they’ll think my heart is light
G7                                                    C
Though my heart may break tomorrow, I’ll be all smile tonight

Verse

                                  F                C
And when the room he entered with a bride upon his arm
  G7                                          C
I stood and gazed upon him as though he was a charm
                               F                   C
And once he smiled upon her as once he’d smiled at me
     G7                                                C
They knew not what I suffered, they found no change in me

Verse

And when the dance is over and all have gone to rest
I’ll think of him, dear Mother, the one that I love best
He once did love me dearly and ne’er from me would part
He sought not to deceive me, false friends have changed his heart
