Smiles: Mark Sloniker



Straight from Mom's intro:

I first laid eye(s) on Mark Sloniker as he played the synthesizer and entertained during an outdoor noontime program for Colorado State University.  As a music fan, I was naturally attracted to the sound, noticed he was a red-head getting way too much direct sunlight.  Between numbers I asked if he would like some sunblock and when he nodded with his dripping face, I headed out for the student union for a tube of goop for him.  We have been friends ever since.  This is a "tune" he wrote that was first an instrumental on his album True Nature, and then done as a vocal on another album where his baby son Myles makes his recording debut of giggles and coos in the background.  It is a wonderful song about the love and joys of a father and his son.

Smiles by Mark Sloniker

In your rainbow live life's colors
Reds and yellows, greens, and blues
In those colors I see smiles
Pour from deep in the heart of you

I see smiles in your month of May
There are smiles on every rainy day
Breezy smiles blowing through the air
Makes me smile just to know you care

In your rainbow live life's colors
Painting all the things we see
In each heart are fresh paint brushes
So paint a picture that sets you free

You'll find smiles in the skies of blue
There'll be smiles from every point of view
I'm in love with life when you smile at me
We see smiles when that's what we choose to see

In your rainbow live life's colors
Painting all the things we see
In each heart are fresh paint brushes
So paint the picture that sets you free
