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 and sorrows.
Smile and there'll be a tomorrow 
and you will see the sun come shining trough 
for you.
Light up your face with gladness,
hide every trace of sadness
for though 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 just smile.

if you'll just smile.
