Smile Lyrics

Smile lyrics

Sing to me, Mr. C., sing to me 

the song that I've been waiting to hear,


just for me, Mr. C., just for me, 

and everybody else will
disappear . . . 

  

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! 

  

< instrumental break >  

  

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!
