Pink Martini - 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 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

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

    The more I learn about Phyllis Diller, the more I like her. What a life force!

  7. E.... K....

    This version is the best version that I ever hear. Her voice in this song was full of wisdom of life .... her voice let me feel warmth whenever I hear this song ... R.I.P.

  8. M.... P....

    I cant  smile,  my heart is broking in so many peaces, I love you PHYLLIS!

  9. T.... E....

    It is August 20, 2015; 3 years since our beloved Phyllis passed.  Phyllis recorded this only a couple months before she passed.  Here I am in the middle of the night, listening to her sing "Smile", with tears still running down my cheeks, but I feel her pinching those same cheeks, saying "Motha says cut it out - and smile".  Phyllis, I love you and miss you every day.  I, too, miss her voice, her laugh, her wisdom and that wonderful smile.................you are in Heaven, leading the Angels.  That's a given.......

  10. m.... ....

    Nice tribute.

    lady.

    beautiful...

  38. B.... R....

    What a wonderful song to leave to this sad ole world. Phyllis filled my childhood with laughter and, like Lucille Ball, Bob Hope, and George Burns, always left me laughing. this world is sadder and emptier without her, but the legacy of laughter and joy that she's left us will carry us through. Thank you sweet lady for all those beautiful years.............we'll never forget you! R.I.P.

  39. a.... ....

    love Pink Martini and Phyllis. she was a fixture of my youth and one funny and inspiring lady. thanks so much for posting this. i have to say i'll be a bit disappointed if this isn't available on cd soon....wink, wink, nod, nod.

  40. B.... ....

    What a lovely thing that she got to do this just before she left us. A perfect final message.

  41. J.... Q....

    Phyllis your voice and smile are so very much missed here. You are loved here and now in heaven . Heaven just got a bit better. We who are left behind have something more to look forward to and That is a chance to hear your voice and give you a warm hug and see you smile.

    Eternally your friend,

    Laura

  42. J.... D....

    I always thought I guess, that she'd be around forever, like the Sun and the Moon.

  50. M.... H....

    Proving again that a comedian must carry a tune - while a musician need never deliver a punchline.
    Fang - what will we do now?
    *smile*

Thanks for all the memories, and laughs, Ms. Diller! You're a true original! May your memory be eternal!

  54. y.... ....

    I now see why you were walking on the edge this last weekend; I never stopped to think about it. This is pure Thomas Lauderdale. You have such a great heart, we are so proud of you, kid.

  55. p.... ....

    I have so much respect for women like Phyllis Diller, she exemplified what it means to be a real woman, and what an honor for Thomas, he was where he was suppose to be to record this for posterity, Thanks Thomas!. There couldn't be a more perfect selection of song and performer. Rest In Peace Phyllis Diller!.
