Smile

Smile

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 ev'ry 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.

(Charles Chaplin - John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons)

"Smile" is an instrumental theme composed by Charlie Chaplin and played in a 1936's film, "Modern Times".
John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons added the lyrics and title in 1954 and was originally sung by Nat King Cole

Cycles

So I'm down and so I'm out 

But so are many others 

So I feel like tryin' to hide 

My head 'neath these covers 

Life is like the seasons
After winter comes the spring
So I'll keep this smile awhile
And see what tomorrow brings 



I've been told and I believe
That life is meant for livin'
And even when my chips are low
There's still some left for givin'
I've been many places
Maybe not as far as you
So I think I'll stay awhile
And see if some dreams come true

There isn't much that I have learned 

Through all my foolish years 

Except that life keeps runnin' in cycles 

First there's laughter, then those tears 



But I'll keep my head up high 

Although I'm kinda tired 

My gal just up and left last week 

Friday I got fired 

You know it's almost funny 

But things can't get worse than now 

So I'll keep on tryin' to sing 

But please, just don't ask me how

(Gayle Caldwell)
