Smile, though your heart is aching
       
Smile, even though its breaking
              
Though there are clouds in the
                 
sky You'll get by, If you
                  
Smile through your fears 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, That's the
            
time you must keep on trying
                     
Smile, what's the use of crying
                
You'll find that life is still worth-
       
while If you'll just...

         
smile... |* * * * |
