Keep smiling, keep smiling, keep smiling, keep right on smiling

I know sometimes your whole world seems blue

Seems like the whole weight of the world is resting on you

But remember when you hang your head, its hard to see the sun

Theres a brighter day, yes it is, just ask and I sure will come

But youve got to keep (keep smiling) well, ooh, yeah

(keep smiling) keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on

(keep smiling) ooh, ha (dont you ever stop smiling)

Oh, dont you ever stop, no, no, no, oh, when youve got to keep on stepping on

You know that youve got to be strong and understand the facts of life

You wont get no place until you make some sacrifice

Try to make it a little easy when youre doing it on your own

Once you think youve got everything, the next day its all gone

But you got to keep (keep smiling), well, well, well, well (keep smiling)

Oh I know its hard, I know its hard, but youve to keep (keep smiling), oh---

Keep on stepping now, (keep smiling) oh, keep your head up to the sky

(keep smiling) oh-got to notice on the tip of your eyes, (keep smiling)

Youve got to keep on, keep on, keep on, (keep smiling)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, (keep smiling), ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha---

(keep smiling) oh--keep on (dont you ever stop smiling) smile, smile---
