Michael Jackson - Smile Lyrics and Video

Smile by Michael Jackson, Music Lyrics with Video

Michael Jackson recorded Charlie Chaplin’s “Smile” song for his 1995 double album “HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I“. During the final concerts of his HIStory World Tour he dedicated the song to Princess Diana.
Charlie Chaplin composed the music, while the words were written by John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons. In the lyrics, the singer is telling the listener to cheer up and that there is always a bright tomorrow, just as long as they smile. :)

Michael Jackson’s brother, Jermaine Jackson, sang Smile at his memorial service on July 7, 2009, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, shortly after Michael Jackson’s friend Brooke Shields mentioned it had been Jackson’s favorite song.

You can listen the song here, this is a fan made video.

Michael Jackson - Smile Lyrics

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 with your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile if you’ll just…
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’ll just…
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 find that life is still worthwhile
If you’ll 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’ll just Smile
