Smile
Music by Charlie Chaplin, Lyrics by John Turner & Geoffrey Parsons, 1936.
Music written by Charlie Chaplin, 1936.
- 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.

Smiling in the Face of Adversity
Serenity is one of the salient qualities of the arts, religions and philosophies of the Far East. Far more significantly, it is also characteristic of the behavior of people of all ages and social classes as they face the trials and tribulations of everyday life.
...If people smile when they announce the death of a loved one, it is not through lack of feeling, but as if to say that what has happened was inevitable, to spare others from grieving and to avoid spoiling their enjoyment of life. There's no need to make a fuss. Basically, life is just a game.If people smile when they announce the death of a loved one, it is not through lack of feeling, but as if to say that what has happened was inevitable, to spare others from grieving and to avoid spoiling their enjoyment of life.
