"Can't Smile Without You" is a song written by Christoph Arnold, David Martin, and Geoff Morrow, best known in its rendition by Barry Manilow. "Can't Smile Without You" was the first single to be released from Manilow's album Even Now in 1978. The song was released as a single in 1978 where it reached the number one spot on the U.S. A&C, and the number three spot on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Previously, the song was recorded by The Carpenters on their album A Kind of Hush in 1976, and was featured as the B-side of their hit "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft" the following year. Manilow's version had slightly different lyrics from the Carpenters, such as the Carpenters's line "I can't laugh and I can't walk / I'm finding it hard even to talk," was changed in Manilow's version to "I can't laugh and I can't sing / I'm finding it hard to do anything" Genre: Pop
