Smile Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it is breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by
[Verse 2]
If you smile, through all fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find the sun come shining through
For you
[Verse 3]
Light up your face, with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear
May be ever so near
[Verse 4]
'Cause that's the time you must keep on tryin'
Smile, what's the use of cryin'?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you'll, you'll just smile
[Refrain]
Although a tear
Is ever so near
[Verse 4]
'Cause that's the time you must keep on tryin'
Smile, what's the use of you cryin'?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you, my darling, just, just smile
[Outro]
Smile, darling baby, smile
(Thank you, thank you very much)
