Mask of Smiles is the third full-length release by British rock singer-songwriter John Waite. It was released in 1985, just after the release of his hit "Missing You".
There were two singles released from the disc. The first, "Every Step Of The Way", was a top 30 hit, peaking at number 25. The other, "Welcome To Paradise", fared rather dismally, edging just inside the Hot 100 (at number 85). The album itself peaked inside the Top 40, at number 36.
