We've been up, we've been down, honey we've been around
Hope we keep on keeping on
It's a mystery to some how we've done what we've done
We've been together so long
People they ask me what can it be
What's the secret of me and you
I just smile and say well you see it's this way
Here's what you gotta do

Smile if it kills you
Find some kind little thing to say
'Cause there ain't no doubt when you sort it all out
It's too good to throw away

Well, it saddens me so to see people we know
Breaking up like they do
And I guess me and you, honey, we're living proof
That love it will see you through
We've been together a long, long time
And troubles we've had a few
But when times get hard and when things go wrong
We know just what to do

Smile if it kills you
Find some kind little thing to say
'Cause there ain't no doubt when you sort it all out
It's too good to throw away

Smile if it kills you
Find some kind little thing to say
'Cause there ain't no doubt when you sort it all out
It's too good to throw away
