Smile ...
When my beloved late beloved mommy passed away, this song came to me and decided to sing this song. At that time Thailand was having some serious problem in their country and I also dedicated this song to them. I knew this song since I was a kid watching movie from Charlie Chaplin and school mates used to call my late beloved dad ... Charlie Chaplin.
"Smile" is a song based on an instrumental theme used in the soundtrack for the 1936 Charlie Chaplin movie Modern Times. Chaplin composed the music, inspired by Puccini's Tosca.[1] John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons added the lyrics and title in 1954.[2]
In the lyrics, based on lines and themes from the film, the singer is
telling the listener to cheer up and that there is always a bright
tomorrow, just as long as they smile. "Smile" has become a popular
standard since its original use in Chaplin's film. It was used as the
theme song on NBC's The Jerry Lewis Show from 1967-69. In 2012, Rachael Leahcar sang the song on the first season of The Voice Australia, charting at number 34 on the Australian Singles Chart.[3]

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Singer Michael Jackson often cited Smile as his favourite song and recorded it for his 1995 double album HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I.
It was scheduled to be released as the eighth and final single from the
album in 1998. However, it was cancelled at the last minute and only a
few copies, mostly promos, went into circulation in the UK, South Africa
and the Netherlands, making it one of the rarest and collectible of all
Jackson's releases. James Hunter of Rolling Stone
wrote a negative review: "the climactic version of Charlie Chaplin's
"Smile" has zero point of view on itself; its blend of rampaging ego and
static orchestral pop is a Streisand-size mistake."[5]Entertainment Weekly called this version of the song a "destined-for-Disney rendition."[6] In 2009 at Jackson's memorial, his brother Jermaine Jackson sang a version of the song in Michael's honor.[7]
Song Lyrics
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
With your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just...
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 is still worthwhile
If you just...
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
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile...
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
