Lyrics
1. When you’re blue and things go wrong with you
Don’t try to share it, grin and bear it
And your dreams are sure to come true
When you’re sad, just make believe you’re glad
And all the world will smile with you
Refrain:
Have smile for ev’ry one you meet
And ev’ry one will have a smile for you
Ev’ry mile along lif’e busy street
Is filled with friendship true
Each tomorrow Brings new sorrow
So why borrow tears?
The thing to do is have a smile
For ev’ry one you meet
And they will have a smile for you
2. When you fear the days because they’re drear
Don’t you regret it, just forget it
And the sun is sure to appear
Pride and pluck, will always bring good luck
So keep on smiling while you’re here
