Smile

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 tears 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
Lady, that's the time
You've got to keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still
Worthwhile if you just smile
I said, that's the time
You've got to keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still
Worthwhile if you just smile
