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 With your fear and sorrow Smile and maybe tomorrow You’ll find that life is still worthwhile If you just smile… Light up your face with gladness Hide every trace of sadness…
