was never recorded by them,
except for a BBC television

after the Carpenters began
performing it in concerts,
Richard re-mixed the audio
track from the BBC television
special and released the song
on the last Carpenters album
'As Time Goes By.' Here's the
original 1970 version
performed by The Wildweeds. I

She Smiles(Words and music by
Alan C. Anderson)And when she
smiles, she makes the sun
shineShe wouldn't think to
make it rainHappiness runs in
the familyAnd she's a girl
from the good old earth and
the high tree forestAnd she's
just about the happiest
girlthat I ever knewAnd when
she smiles, she makes me
sighShe doesn't have a point
of viewHappiness runs in the
familyAnd she's a girl from
the good old earth and the
high tree forestAnd she's just
about the happiest girl that I
ever knewAnd when she
smiles,she makes the sun
shineAnd warms the day with
morning dewHappiness runs in
the familyAnd she's a girl
from the good old earth and
the high tree forestAnd she's
just about the happiest girl
that I ever knewAnd she's just
about the happiest girl that I
ever knew
