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,
If you just smile.

Chorus:
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 trying.
Smile, what's the use of crying.
You'll find that life is still worth while,
If you just smile.

If you just smile...
