Smile / When You're Smiling
Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
Where there are clouds
in the sky, you'll get by
When you smile through
your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun,
come shining through, for you
When 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,
life is still worthwhile
If you'll just smile
you just smile
When you're smiling, (ha)
the whole world smiles with you
When you're laughing (ha ha)
When your laughing
the whole world comes shining through
Take it guys
When you light up
your face with gladness
hide every trace of sadness
Although that 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,
life is still worthwhile
if you'll just smile
You just smile
Just smile
I have a picture of my wife, Kandilyn, where she has this beautiful smile on her face. It has always made me smile when I look at it. She has helped me realize how important smiling is, even in a difficult situation. She believes a smile an ease the pain of others and lift them when they are down. I would like to dedicate these two songs as a medley in honor of her, for having the courage and strength to smile through some very challenging times. Ironically, the day after I finished recording this medley, I learned that Smile was Michael Jackson’s favorite song. I find it interesting how this song has touched so many people. - Jay Osmond
