There's Sunshine In a Smile

Life is a mixture of sunshine and rain,

Laughter and pleasure, tear drops and pain,

All days can't be bright, but certainly it's true,

There was never a cloud the sunshine didn't shine through,

So just keep on smiling whatever betide you,

Secure in the knowledge God is always beside you,

And you'll find when you smile your day will be brighter

And all of your burdens will seem so much lighter -

For each time you smile you will find it is true

Somebody, somewhere will smile back at you,

And nothing on earth can make like more worthwhile

Than the sunshine and warmth of a beautiful smile.
