One of my favorite song lyrics says "Smile, what's the use of crying?" Indeed. Charles Chaplin, John Turner, and Geoffrey Parsons gave us something very special in that song they wrote. I can almost hear it right now. I love Petula Clark's version, and even Michael Jackson's, but the best known of course is from Nat King Cole.
Song lyrics can change our mood, and so it's those happy words that I want to hear the most of! Our little road trip from San Francisco has features a lot of happy songs and a lot of singing. I'm even getting a little hoarse. (Chaplin, by the way did the music and the words came from Turner and Parsons). You certainly can't go wrong when the title is Smile! Smiling is just about the happiest thing a person can do!
The last three simple lines of that song really say it so well!
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile
