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 fear an' 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 tryin'

Smile, what's the use of cryin'?

You'll find that life is still worthwhile

If you'll just smile!

[Interlude]

That's the time you must keep on tryin'

Smile, what's the use of cryin'?

You'll find that life is still worthwhile

If you'll just smile!
