SMILE

Even if your heart is breaking

 ()()()()()()

 When everything seems to be getting you down

And the people around you do nothing but frown:

SMILE

 ()()()

 When your daily chores seem over your head,

And you find yourself wishing you were still in your bed:

SMILE

 ()()()

 When those around you have a bad day

And feel that you should feel the same way:

SMILE

 ()()()

 When all that you do begins to fail,

And your first instinct is to scream and wail:

SMILE

()()()

 When you feel like there’s no longer hope,

And you can’t seem to find a way to cope:

SMILE

 ()()()

 And when all else fails and you’re still feeling blue,

Remember you still have friends who believe in you –

 

AND SMILE!!!
