Smile tho' your heart is ach-ing.
Smile ev-en tho' it's break-ing.
When there are clouds in the sky,
you'll get by,
If you smile through your fear and sor-row
Smile and may-be to-mor-row
You'll see the sun comes
shin-ing thru for you.
Light up your face with glad-ness.
Hide ev-'ry trace of sad-ness,
Al-tho' a tear may be ev-er so near
That's the time you just keep on try-ing
Smile, what's the use of cry-ing,
You'll find that life is still worth-while
If you'll just smile.
