Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow

My late brother-in-l a w used to have a 78rpm of this song which I as a 10 yr. old had to play it over and over again in the old handle cranked radiogram. It brings back fond memories.

This is such a beautiful song of HOPE!!!
Only a brilliant artist can capture this level of hope and sadness in a handful of sentences (lyrics).

This songs has a wonderful message for anyone carrying a heavy load. And with Charlie Chaplin as the mind behind the song, how could you go wrong.

My mother used to sing this song. I miss her xoxoxo
I was surprised to find out that Charlie Chaplin wrote the music. i had no idea he was a composer. But he, and Nat, and the other fellows did a wonderful job on this. Perfecto!
