Lyrics
Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though 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 find 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
This is the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll see that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
Although a tear maybe ever so near
'Cause that's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of you crying?
You'll find that life is still worth while
If you, my darling
Just, just smile
Smile, darling baby, smile
Thank you, thank you very much
