Text: | You Can Smile |
Author: | A. H. A. |
Tune: | [There are many troubles that will burst like bubbles] |
Composer: | A. H. Ackley |
1 There are many troubles that will burst like bubbles,
There are many shadows that will disappear,
When you learn to meet them, with a smile to greet them,
For a smile is better than a frown or tear.
Refrain:
You can smile when you can’t say a word,
You can smile when you cannot be heard,
You can smile when its cloudy or fair,
You can smile, any time, anywhere.
2 Tho’ the world forsake you, joy will overtake you,
Hope will soon awake you, if you smile today;
Don’ts parade your sorrow, wait unto tomorrow,
For your joy and hope will drive the clouds away. [Refrain]
3 When the clouds are raining, don’ts begin complaining,
What the earth is gaining should not make you sad;
Do not be a fretter, smiling is much better,
And a smile will help to make the whole world glad. [Refrain]
