when you smile
a heart is bound to leap
even when deception has kept it
sound asleep
when you smile
the image is for keeps
when you smile
someone might smile right back
and put you back on track
when you smile
you help someone ease their pain
when you smile
the world may smile with you
and keep you sane
when you smile
no one can lose
and no one is to blame
when you smile
the alternative is to choose
to be happy
and find that all in life
is still worthwhile
so as the song says
just smile.
