A Smile Will Go A Long Long Way    (1923)

Smiling faces always find a welcome
That's why everyone should leave to smile
Remember after all, your trouble may be small
Here's a little thought that's worth your while

When you're blue and kinda lonely too
You'll find a smile will go a long, long way
Though you're down, don't sit around and frown
A little smile will go a long, long way
Never grieve, just try and make believe
The sky is blue although you know it's grey
Don't you pine, it's just a waste of time
You'll find a smile will go a long, long way

Once I used to think my case was hopeless
Never wore a smile the live-long day
But since I learned to smile, my life has been worthwhile
That is just the reason why I say

When you're blue and kinda lonely too
You'll find a smile will go a long, long way
Though you're down, don't sit around and frown
A little smile will go a long, long way
Never grieve, just try and make believe
The sky is blue although you know it's grey
Don't you pine, it's just a waste of time
You'll find a smile will go a long, long way

Lyrics by Benny Davis and Harry Akst.
