Can't Smile Without You - Hellboy II (The Golden Army) 2008
You know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you
You came along just like a song
And brighten my day
Who would of believed that you where part of a dream
Now it all seems light years away
And now you know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel sad when your sad
I feel glad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile
Now some people say happiness takes so very long to find
Well, I'm finding it hard leaving your love behind me
And you see I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel glad when you're glad
I feel sad when you're sad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you

What's MRU list?
MRU stands for Most Recently Used. It is a list of your most recently visited web page, opened documents, etc. For instance, open Microsoft Word, click menu File. At the bottom of the menu you will see that there is a list of previous documents. That is MRU list. A lot of software create and use MRU list. So, actually MRU list is like your "history". It's not spyware, but some spywares use it to spy on you.
What are CBR, VBR, & ABR?
CBR = Constant Bitrate
VBR = Variable Bitrate
ABR = Average Bitrate
CBR ( Constant Bitrate ) means that the bitrat selected ( 128kbps, 192kbps, etc. ) is constant and does not deviate. CBR is useful for streaming multimedia content on limited capacity channels since it is the maximum bit rate that matters, not the average, so CBR would be used to take advantage of all of the capacity. CBR would not be the optimal choice for storage as it would not allocate enough data for complex sections ( resulting in degraded quality ) while wasting data on simple sections.
VBR ( Variable Bitrate ) varies the encoding used throughout the song depending on the requirement. For example, if the song is quiet or relatively simple, a lower bitrate might be used. VBR is preferred for storage ( as opposed to streaming ) because it creates a high quality output file with a reduced file size.
ABR ( Average Bitrate ) refers to the average amount of data transfered per second. An MP3 file that has an ABR of 128kbps transfers an average 128000 bits every second.
