Keep smiling, keep shinning, knowing you can always count on me

If I go on and start telling you why you should keep smiling and keep shinning, I will be taking the attention away from this wonderful song that is laden with the most important message for living.


This song by Dionne Warwick featuring Elton John, Stevie Wonder and Gladys Knight is one of my favorite songs because it comes laden with thought provoking lessons. Watch the video and see the way they were just about themselves, the smiles, the hugs and the melodious voices.


I Feel Blessed!


We all need somebody to make us feel really special and loved up in many ways. Living is really hard and then when you take a look at the various incidences that comes with the day to day challenges we are poised to see, we will always get to that stage where we will appreciate that friendly smile, shine and hug. Friends should be there for you as you should for them!


Sing and smile along with the lyrics.

  • And I never thought I'd feel this way
    And as far as I'm concerned
    I'm glad I got the chance to say
    That I do believe, I love you
  • And if I should ever go away
    Well, then close your eyes and try
    To feel the way we do today
    And then if you can remember
  • Keep smiling, keep shining
    Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
    That's what friends are for
    For good times and bad times
    I'll be on your side forever more
    That's what friends are for
  • Well, you came in loving me
    And now there's so much more I see
    And so by the way
    I thank you
  • Oh and then for the times when we're apart
    Well, then close your eyes and know
    The words are coming from my heart
    And then if you can remember
  • Keep smiling and keep shining
    Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
    That's what friends are for
    In good times and bad times
    I'll be on your side forever more
    That's what friends are for
  • Keep smiling, keep shining
    Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
    That's what friends are for
    For good times and bad times
    I'll be on your side forever more
    That's what friends are for
  • Keep smiling, keep shining
    Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
    Cause I tell you, that's what friends are for
    Whoa, good times and the bad times
    I'll be on your side forever more
    That's what friends are for

Make the world a better place for someone today!

keep smiling and keep steeming :)

awesome impact

yes....keep smiling.....:)

She has such a lovely voice.

I see smile as a favour-qualifier
I see smile as a judgement-averter
Our smiles tell how accomodating we are.

Smile is the glory of the face
Smile is the medicine for low self-esteem and depression.

Thanks for sharing this @ejemai

such a wonderful song. I miss hearing from Stevie wonder

Everyone needs some one. No man stands alone and becomes great. Friends are supposed to be for a life time. But people are most times friends with your momey and fame. The song preaches a good message.

@ejemai, I remember this song and the memory it brings to my mind was music at lunch time after school when I was in primary school just learning to appreciate songs from my elder sister.

so beautiful. your song just reminded me of how my husband and college at work, said i was beautiful today. we all need beautiful compliments all the time to keep us going. sweet music

Everybody needs somebody, I love the lyrics already, I will try and see the video some other time, but the lyrics is just too muah!

Sharing only the best and not the bad moments is not friendship, it has to be both. Only the through friends have this quality.

Absolutely smile is what described us, it makes us look younger. Great post.

Way to make the world a happy place.

That sounds right. Meaning that we all need each other. You cant do it only you here. Unity is the key. Thanks @ejemai for sharing this great music

Good song for the soul. Happy people always smile even at their circumstances. Thanks @ejemai as we keep smiling to confused our enemies.

I bet we would even beg for just a little crime, very little sadness if everyone could smile and shine and mind their businesses.
Really the world would be a better place

Music is the food to the soul

The lyrics is awesome...yes we can make the world a better place ....

Elton John and Stevie Wonder have always been one of my best, the lyrics are just it. Truly, the world can be a better place. If you walk alone, you walk fast but if you work together you work far... We all need each other, thanks for this @ejemai
