We've been up, we've been down, honey we've been around Hope we keep on, keep it on It's a mistery to some how we've done what we've done We've been together so long People they ask me what can it be What's the secret of me and you I just smile and say well you see it's this way Here's what you gotta do Smile if it kills you Find some kind little thing to say 'Cause there ain't no doubt when you sort it all out It's too good to throw away Well, it saddens me so to see people we know Breaking up like they do And I guess me and you, honey, we're living proof That love it will see you through We've been together a long, long time And troubles we've had a few But when times get hard and when things go wrong We know just what to do Smile if it kills you Find some kind little thing to say 'Cause there ain't no doubt when you sort it all out It's too good to throw away Smile if it kills you Find some kind little thing to say 'Cause there ain't no doubt when you sort it all out It's too good to throw away
