Written by Charlie Chaplin
Recorded by Petula Clark in 1967
from songwriter Charlie Chaplin's last film, "The Countess from Hong Kong" starring Sophia Loren.
Petula also recorded this song in French, Italian, and German

Why is my heart so light?
Why are the stars so bright?
Why is the sky so blue,
Since the hour I met you?

Flowers are smiling bright
Smiling for our delight
Smiling so tenderly
For all the world, you and me

I know why the world is smiling
Smiling so tenderly
It hears the same old story
Through all eternity

Love, this is my song
Here is a song, a serenade to you
The world cannot be wrong
If in this world there is you

I care not what the world may say
Without your love there is no day
So, love, this is my song
Here is a song, a serenade to you

(Instrumental Interlude)

I care not what the world may say
Without your love there is no day
So, love, this is my song
Here is a song, a serenade to you
