Tears are falling on your pillow

And as the sun begins to rise

Your dreams are fading into daybreak

And sadness listens softly in your eyes

You can't escape the sound of sorrow

But listen hard and you will hear

Birds are waking up the morning

With songs to make your heart ache disappear


Smile when you are lonely

Even when it's harder to pretend

Smile a little only knowing that your tears will have an end

Sorridi e senti la luce

come illumina la vita

Smile and everything will turn out right


We all have days that overwhelm us

And we just feel like giving in

But raise a smile and face the challenge

As happiness can wash away the pain

And if the walls should fall around you

And you're hurting deep inside

A smile will help to make the sunshine

And you can leave the loneliness behind


Smile when you are lonely

Even when it's harder to pretend

Smile a little only knowing that your tears will have an end

Sorridi e senti la luce

come illumina la vita

Smile and everything will turn out right


Sorridi e senti la luce

come illumina la vita

Smile and watch you troubles drift away

Smile and you can face another day
