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.
