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!
