Thank you my friend SGT (Join to see) for posting the music video of Frank Sinatra, Jo Stafford & The Pied Pipers performing 'I'll Never Smile Again' with The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra.

"I'll Never Smile Again" written by Ruth Lowe
Lyrics
"(I'll never smile again until I smile at you)
(I'll never laugh again) What good would it do?

For tears would fill my eyes
My heart would realize
That our romance is through

(I'll never love again, I'm so in love with you)
(I'll never thrill again to somebody new)

Within my heart
I know I will never start
(To smile again)
Until I smile at you

[instrumental]

Within my heart
I know I will never start
(To smile again)
Until I smile at you

[very brief instrumental]

(Until I smile at you)"

Here is the complete music video of Frank Sinatra and the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra - "I'll Never Smile Again" from Las Vegas Nights (1941)

During the height of the “Big Band Era” Tommy Dorsey and his Orchestra were consistently on the top of charts and extremely popular on the radio and in person. Dorsey had the ability to blend exciting swing instrumentals with lush ballads. From 1940 to 1942 the band featured Frank Sinatra and the Pied Pipers on a string of top 10 records. In this program we feature the Dorsey Band with Sinatra, Jo Stafford and the Pied Pipers.

I grew up listening to the Big Bands and Sinatra because my dad and mom played their songs constantly.
