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 see the sun come shinin' 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 tryin'

Smile, what's the use of crying?

You'll find that life is still worth while

If you'd just smile

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 tryin'

Smile, what's the use of cryin'?

You'll find that life is still worth while

If you'd just smile
