Smile though your heart is achingSmile even though it's breakingWhen there are clouds in the sky, you'll get byIf you smile through your fear and sorrowSmile and maybe tomorrowYou'll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladnessHide every trace of sadnessAlthough 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 worthwhileIf you just smile
