Lyric

[Verse 1]
Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it’s breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You’ll get by

[Verse 2]
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You’ll see the sun come shining through
For you

[Verse 3]
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear
May be ever so near

[Verse 4]
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
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
