Live life with a smile
This will assist you
As you walk that weary mile
A door never closes
But another opens
Live life with a smile.
Live life with a smile
Bring happiness with you as you go
That burden may be heavy
Stand upright, face that foe
Turning your back is not the answer
Live life with a smile.
Live life with a smile
Learn not to recoil
As you step out into a new dawn
Smile instead of yawn
You have made it through another night
Live life with a smile.
Live life with a smile
Although at times it’s burdensome
That cross we have to bear
There is always someone less well off
Their cross they may wish to share
Live life with a smile.
Live life with a smile
Spread the happiness within you around
Put a spring in your step as you go
Chin in, chest out, give that cheery wave
That may be all it takes, a life to save
Live life with a smile.
