Nat “King” Cole - When You’re Smiling (The Whole World Smiles With You) Lyrics | gotlyric.com

When you're smilin'
The whole world smiles with you
An' when you're laughin'
An' really laughin'
The sun comes shinin' through...

But, when you're cryin'
You bring on the rain
So, stop you're sighin'
Be happy again!

Oh! Keep on smilin'
'Cause when you're smilin'
The whole world smiles with you...

Nat “King” Cole

Nathaniel Adams Coles (17 March 1919 – 15 February 1965) was born in Montgomery, Alabama and used the stage name Nat “King” Cole throughout his career as a jazz pianist and later as a singer.

Cole’s first mainstream hit was “Straighten Up and Fly Right” in 1943. Bo Diddley, who performed similar folk-based material said that song was a big influence on him.

In the late 40s, Cole began recording more pop-oriented material. His stature as a pop singer was cemented by hits like “Route 66”, “Mona Lisa” and “Unforgettable”. In the 50s, virtually every home had a copy of his Christmas album.
