Jim Reeves also covered the song in the 1950s.
[edit] Lyrics
I'm in heaven when I see you smile;
Smile for me, my Diane.
And though ev'rything's dark all the while
I can see you, Diane.
You have lighted the road leading home;
Pray for me when you can.
But no matter wherever I roam,
Smile for me, my Diane.
(Last time)
Smile for me, my Diane.
