[Verse]
With a smile, a smile on my face
No one can find a trace of loneliness
Or even guess
That the smile, smile on my face
Still cannot replace all the emptiness
Unhappiness on the inside
But I smile and then I keep on praying
That what people say is true
That for everyone there's someone
And that someone may be one of you
Who see the smile on my face
That happy smile that hides so, so many tears
But the smile, smile on my face is a worn-out smile
That has weathered too many lonely, lonely
But I smile and pray that someone someday
Would take the time to understand
That behind this smile is a lonely
Just another lonely man, no smile on my face
Still cannot replace the emptiness
Unhappiness on the inside
So I smile to keep from crying
Smile to keep on trying
Smile, but I know my smile is lying
Oh, oh, smile, smile
I can't help it, children, smile, smile
Keep on trying, keep on smiling
