Smile tho’ your heart is aching,
Smile even tho’ it’s breaking,
When there are clouds in the sky
You’ll get by,
Smile even tho’ it’s breaking,
When there are clouds in the sky
You’ll get by,
If you smile
thro’ your fear and sorrow,
Smile and maybe tomorrow,
You’ll see the sun come shin-ing thro’ for you
thro’ your fear and sorrow,
Smile and maybe tomorrow,
You’ll see the sun come shin-ing thro’ for you
Light up your face with gladness,
Hide ev-’ry trace of sadness,
Al -’tho a tear may be ever so near,
Hide ev-’ry trace of sadness,
Al -’tho 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 is still worth-while,
You must keep on trying,
Smile, what’s the use of crying,
You’ll find that life is still worth-while,
If you just smile,
I used this lyric as a gift to my PPL students.
Keep smiling. That’s what I try all the time.
Smile, Whatever happens. Even when you cry you have to keep smiling -even you’ll look weird hahaha- . I love to smile. It’s my way running away from the pain. There are two choices, cry or smile. You can’t cry in front of everybody, smile is all you have. Big grin, and everyone will smile back at you.
I wonder, maybe that’s why people look at me as a childish person. That’s because I act to make myself smile and people around me smile, don’t have to laugh, just smile. People see me as a happy person, no pain and trouble in my life. -perhaps- I always share my smile to everyone never share my tears cuz that’s too bad.
But sometimes, I need to share my tears too, with someone. Someone who really understands and accepts both my smile and tears. I don’t need a pity, just let me cry and wait until the pain is gone and let’s smile again together.
Like Chaplin, he is usually described as a troubled person, with no money and become the victim of circumstance and coincidence. But He maintains the attitude and demeanor of a high-class individual; as long as he acts like one he can believe that he is one, and is able to keep his hope that some day he actually will be again. So, he lives his hard life easily as if there is no trouble at all. He does what he can do right now, and nothing else.
So, he’s hiding his pain. and people always look him as a happy person, but there’s a time when he also breaks down and cries.
