Smile
Lea Michele/Cory Monteith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your pain and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through, for you
Light up your face with gladness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time (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
Oh ooh yeah
That's the time (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
Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
That's the time (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
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
