Lyrics : “Smile Though Your Heart Is Breaking”
Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it is breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You’ll get by…
If you smile
With you’re fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You will 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 is the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what is the use of crying
You will find that life is still worthwhile
If you just…
Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it is 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 will find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile…
That is the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what is the use of crying
You will find that life is still worthwhile
If there was a song that summed up what Michael was feeling, this was it. Its so touching the voice is so sad and yet happy. I think Michael Jackson was being sarcastic when he did this, he was sad and fighting through it to happiness. Its almost like an old time musical at the end.
