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 fears and sorrows.

Smile and maybe tomorrow

You'll see the sun come shining through.

If you just light up your face with gladness,

Hide every trace of sadness.

Although a tear may be ever, ever so near.

That's the time you must keep on trying.

Smile, what's the use of crying?

You'll find life is still worthwhile

If you'll just smile.

That's the time you must keep on trying.

Smile, what's the use of crying?

You'll find life is still worthwhile

If you'll just smile.
