Flying Machine - Smile A Little Smile For Me download song

This song is stuck in my head ever since I heard it yesterday. I was in the car with my mother and sister and my mother had the Oldies' station on the radio. Although I'm young, I love hearing the songs from the 60's and 70's etc.

FLYING MACHINE Smile A Little Smile For Me  You really should accept This time he's gone for good He'll never come back now Even though he said he would So darling dry your eyes So many other guys Would give the world I'm sure To wear the shoes he wore (Chorus) Oh come on - smile a little smile for me Rosemarie Where's the use in crying In a little while you'll see Rosemarie You must keep on trying I know that he hurt you bad I know darling don't be sad And Smile a little smile for me Rosemarie Rosemarie I guess you're lonely now That's coming to an end But darling only now Are you free to start again Lift up your pretty chin Don't let those tears begin You're a big girl now And you'll pull through somehow (Chorus) Oh come on - smile a little smile for me Rosemarie Where's the use in crying In a little while you'll see Rosemarie You must keep on trying I know that he hurt you bad I know darling don't be sad And Smile a little smile for me Rosemarie Rosemarie Smile a little smile for me Rosemarie Rosemarie

I remember my dad playing this song on one of his cassette back in the days...I'm 31 now; so glad my dad introduced these little known gems to me. Cheers!

we were such romantics back in the 1970's. this song is a classic from my youth growing up in san Francisco. I must of been 16 years old in 1970. made us dream of girls! miss those days and times. you would of had to lived then to understand the times.

When I was 13 in 1973 our school bus driver use to sing this to me every day as I got on the bus. I was so embarrassed then, but now I cherish those memories. He was such a nice guy.

Im 63 years old I remember this song from the 70s high school   great

This song was my first wifes and mine song before I went to Vietnam  I was one of the lucky ones to return but Vietnam still haunts me not sure why maybe due to so many of my friends and classmates that did not make it back home alive.  God Bless all of the Vietnam Vets and the Veterans from after all who have served.

When I was younger my older sister and I shared a bedroom and she always had her radio on at night when we were in bed and this song was on every night . My sister ran away from home when she was about 15 and I cried myself to sleep . I woke up during the night and the radio was on and this song was playing and I knew that my big sister had come back home safe , My sister passed away on mother's day 2007 and hearing this song again brings back memories of her dancing and the night I woke up and knew she was safely back home in her bed . I miss her deeply and especially now hearing this song again after all these years , Thank you .

Great tune. No good music being made in 2019. It's gone forever to street thugs and auto tune brats.

This tune came out in like, September / October of 1969, when I was in the third grade, eight years old, and wondered about what it was to be like a soldier in Vietnam. I came home to Lego sets, Erector sets and entertained myself. Thanks for your service to our great, U.S.A. I have several friends who served in S.E. Asia.

I love this song for many reasons.  One is that it is so beautifully done and so poignant.  But the MAIN reason is, well, back when I was a freshman in high school so many years ago, back in 1972, it was something of a "tradition" for a senior girl to "adopt" a freshman boy and all.  Anyway, I learned that she had an engagement broken off.  She had always been so kind and helpful to me (and naturally I had a "crush" on her LOL), so I copied down the words of this song and give it to her the next time I saw her.  The next day, she came up and gave me a big kiss on the lips.  smiles in recollection...I cherish that memory, and often wonder how she is doing now.  So many years ago, both of us now middle-aged, obviously, but some things endure.   A wonderful song and poetry in the words. 

What a sweet song.  I had forgotten.  I am travelling back through all those sweet, tender songs  -  this one, "Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes", "Silence is Golden", "Cherish", "Never My Love."  I struggle to find modern equivalents.

The lyrics are of Lennon / McCartney quality, not to mention the excellent melody.

I'm 18... Not many people my age know this song but honestly, it's one of my favorites! :)

I had this '45 when it came out, and there was a skip where it was scratched. Funny to hear it now - I keep waiting for that skip!

"You really should accept this time he's gone for good" "Any guy would give the world I'm sure to wear the shoes he wore" "Smile a little smile for me" "Where's the use in crying?" "You must keep on trying!" "I know he hurt you bad, and darling, don't be sad"

I woke up one September morning in 1969, early, it was 5AM, my Junior year of H.S had just started and this song came on. It haunted me then and it haunts me still because with just a note or two, I am back in what I feel now was a moment come unstuck in time. It is that real to me.

I'm 62 . I played this single on a cheap portable turntable and thought I was in heaven!

I used to work with a lady named Rose Marie. She retired a few years ago but when we worked together I'd occasionally sing the chorus of this song as I passed by her work station. And guess what, she really did smile a little smile for me.
