[Verse 1]
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 sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you

[Verse 2]
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you gotta keep on tryin'
Smile, what's the use of cryin'?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile if you'll just smile
If you'll just smile
