A Certain Smile Johnny Mathis Words by Paul Francis Webster and Music by Sammy Fain Peaked at # 14 in 1958 Sung by Mathis as the title song in the movie starring Rossano Brazzi and Joan Fontaine A certain smile, a certain face Can lead an unsuspecting heart on a merry chase A fleeting glance can say so many lovely things Suddenly you know why my heart sings You love awhile and when love goes You try to hide the tears inside with a cheerful pose But in the hush of night exactly like a bittersweet refrain Comes that certain smile to haunt your heart again But in the hush of night exactly like a bittersweet refrain Comes that certain smile to haunt your heart again
