"Smile"

I know that somewhere there is another person who is suffering a grief greater than mine.  I know that as quotes go, "time heals all wounds" is one of everlasting permanence.  I know that when the Lord closes the door, somewhere He opens a window.  I know that in the scheme of life, the greater sorrow will only strengthen my resolve.  I know that for every tear spent, an my angel is there to dry them.  I know that as this eloquent and resolute simple song will maintain an err of joy for me.  I thank you Charlie for writing it.

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

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
