Smile
Words by John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons
Theme Music of Mordern Times by Charlie Chaplin
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 tryin’
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 tryin’
Smile, what’s the use of cryin’?
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile…smile…
Just Smile
Charlie Chaplin’s silent comedy classic (Modern Times)speaks volumes
about the dehumanization of mankind in the machine age. 18 years after
he wrote the score, john Turner and Geoffrey Parsons set Chaplin's
poignant melody, to an equally heartfelt lyric.
