You Can Smile

Author: A. H. A. Hymnal: Praise and Worship Hymns #103 (1927) First Line: There are many troubles that will burst like bubbles Refrain First Line: You can smile when you can't say a word Lyrics: 1 There are many troubles that will burst like bubbles, There are many shadows that will disappear, When you learn to meet them, with a smile to greet them, For a smile is better than a frown or tear. Refrain: You can smile when you can’t say a word, You can smile when you cannot be heard, You can smile when its cloudy or fair, You can smile, any time, anywhere. 2 Tho’ the world forsake you, joy will overtake you, Hope will soon awake you, if you smile today; Don’ts parade your sorrow, wait unto tomorrow, For your joy and hope will drive the clouds away. [Refrain] 3 When the clouds are raining, don’ts begin complaining, What the earth is gaining should not make you sad; Do not be a fretter, smiling is much better, And a smile will help to make the whole world glad.
