Although a tear may be ever so near 
That's the time you must keep on trying

You'll find that life is still worthwhile 
If you just... 

Smile, though your heart is aching

When there are clouds in the sky 
You'll get by... 

If you smile 
With your fear and sorrow 
Smile and may be tomorrow 
You'll find that life is still worthwhile 
If you just smile... 

That's the time you must keep on trying 
Smile, what's the use of crying 
You'll find that life is still worthwhile 
If you just smile...
