Because You Smiled


If at times you feel you want to cry
And life seems such a trial
Above the clouds there's a bright blue sky
To make your tears a smile



As you travel on life's way
With its many ups and downs
Remember it's quite true to say
One smile is worth a dozen frowns




Among the world's expensive things
A smile is very cheap
And when you give a smile away
You get one back to keep



Happiness comes at times to all
But sadness comes unbidden
And sometimes a few tears must fall
Among the laughter hidden




So when friends have sadness on their face
And troubles round them piled
The world will seem a better place
And all because you smiled
