Smile, tho' your heart is aching,
Smile, even tho' it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky,
You'll get by
If you smile
Through your fear and sorrow
Smile ~ and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through
For you
Light up your face with gladness,
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear
May be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying,
Smile ~ what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you'll just smile
~interlude~
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile ~ what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you'll just smile
