Natalie Cole - 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 maybe 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
Oh 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

    "You'll find that life is still worthwhile, if you just smile . . . " For some reason -- despite its positive message -- I have always found this song so heart-wrenching. The orchestra and Ms. Cole are magnificent.

    I love this album. It is one of my all time favorites. I found it years ago at MLK Library in San Jose CA when I was like 14 or 15 years old. Popped it in my laptop, ripped it, and fell in love with it instantly. It still gives me goosebumps to this day. She is a beautiful soul. There is something about this album that feels so pure and magical to me. RIP.

Do another duet album? I don't know. You are up there singing happy birthday to him and I know he would say that the best gift is having you with him, bur i miss you Natalie! I love the way you sing this song and I hope you are happy up there!!!

    Smile ! - One of my Dads favorites - He loved Nat King Cole after hearing his songs on a G.I. soldiers stereo system being played in a french bar while stationed in Europe - Dad previously in Royal Engineers - Signed up for control commission which had the task of rebuilding Europe with the rest of our allies ! ...

    S.... B....

    Dad loved the song 'Smile' from the old Chaplin movies - But hearing the song sung with Lyrics - with NKColes beautiful voice - I think it was a revelation - Up until Dad died - He had large collection of Nats music on vinyl that dad would play every Sunday morning (religiously) while getting veg ready for sunday dinner

    S.... B....

    I love Nats version - I love a lot of his music - I Really like Natalie s version too !
    Thankyou for sharing !
