Smile

We put on our masks with Dot to preserve this time in our joint memory.  'Smile!', I said. And, Dot replied, 'Although we can't see our faces, you can see the smiles in our eyes!'

So, keep smiling everyone, mask or no mask, in these challenging times.

Here’s a clip which combines Charlie Chaplin's own original instrumental theme composed in the '30s with Nat King Cole singing the first version with lyrics added in 1954.

And the lyrics themselves:

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 worth while

If you just smile
