Smile
It brightens your day.
It makes all your troubles seem so far away.
There's nothing like the power, nothing like the power of a smile.

Stand on the corner of any old street.
Take a look at the people you meet.
Most of every one of them is wearing a frown.
What in God's name is getting them down?

Why is everybody looking so depressed?
Don't they know that they've all been blessed with a...

Smile
It brightens your day.
It makes all your troubles seem so far away.
There's nothing like the power, nothing like the power of a smile.

No matter where you go in this wide-world,
There's a whole lot of people, busy, trying to be heard.
All they've got to do is take a minute or two
Take a look at their life, see what's making them blue.

Everybody wants to just push and shove,
Maybe they'd be better showing just a little love and a...

Smile
It brightens your day.
It makes all your troubles seem so far away.
There's nothing like the power, nothing like the power of a smile.

Don't they know just where I'm coming from?
Don't they see just where they're going wrong?

Smile
It brightens your day.




It makes all your troubles seem so far away.
There's nothing like the power, nothing like the power of a smile.
