“Smile” is the seventh track on the album Harlequin by Lady Gaga.
The track is a reprised cover of “Smile” by Charlie Chaplin. Nat King Cole recorded the first version with lyrics in 1954.

[Verse 1]
Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by
[Verse 2]
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile, and maybe tomorrow
You'll see 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
[Chorus]
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 just smile
[Interlude]
Souriez même si votre cœur se brise
Quand il y a des nuages dans le ciel
Vous vous en sortirez si vous souriez
Souriez, souriez
Je vous adore
[Chorus]
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 just smile
Smile was written by Charlie Chaplin & Geoffrey Parsons & John Turner.
Smile was produced by Lady Gaga & Benjamin Rice.
