I absolutely love the song “Smile” sung by Nat King Cole (who has one of the most wonderful voices ever, by the way). The lyrics to the song are inspired and Cole has the most perfect way of giving extra meaning to them. This song is also extra special because it was written by none other than the multi-talented Charlie Chaplin, whose birthday was just a few days ago.
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
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 worthwhile
If you just smile
[instrumental interlude]
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
*Cue crying*
