Lyrics
Smile
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 all 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
'Cause 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, you just smile
Although a tear is 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 worthwhile
If you, my darling, just, just smile
Smile, darling baby, smile
Thank you, thank you very much
