Smile - Michael Jackson

This was Michael Jackson’s favorite song – Smile - It was the theme music for Charlie Chaplin‘s final silent picture “Modern Times” in 1936. Nat King Cole made it popular in 1954 when they put the words to it and he sang it. This was performed today by Jermaine Jackson at his brother’s memorial. Even though the song is titled Smile – not a dry eye was in attendance. This song is kind of how Michael Jackson lived each day:

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 see the sun come shining through for you

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

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
