Need help

Post by Robert Thomas »

I entertain the folks in nursing homes and alzheimer units and I have the words for Porter Wagner's "I've Never Seen So Many Happy Faces", and I need the melody so that I can learn to play and sing the song for the folks. Can anyone help me or direct me to where I could possibly find the melody?

Google Porter Wagoner "Happy Faces" Lyrics. You will get a lot of hits. I copied this from one. Enjoy.

Well I've never seen so many happy faces smiles are sure in style here at this place
Why everyone here looks just like a neighbor
You know there's love in every happy face

They say that frowning makes the wrinkles deepen
And loneliness will make beauty decay
So I'm filling up each day with happy sunshine and love fills every night I dream away

Well I've never seen...

[ el.banjo - fiddle ]

Why almost everyone I guess at some time
Has had their pretty smile turned upside down
But if you'll look real close you'll find the happiness
Then you'll see smiling faces all around

Well I've never seen...

Yes you know there's love in every happy face :D

I think he already has the lyrics. That's why he is asking for the melody.

Thanks for your response, and yes I have the lyrics, it is just the melody that I cannot access, so I was hoping someone might have it available.

Strange. I searched iTunes for "Porter Wagoner" and found 200 titles, none of them were "Happy Faces"..

Robert,
if you want to spend some money it is for sale here. I'm pretty sure the song is on this album.
