Smile, Dammit.

I'll be incommunicado for the next couple of days, in Holyoke building houses for the poor in case you're interested, and when I get back I don't want there to be any talk of the stupid thing I did yesterday and the irritating ramifications. I'm just going to grit my teeth and do my work and hum Holly Cole maniacally to myself as I walk down the street.



Smile, though your heart is breaking
Smile, even though it's aching
When there are clouds in the sky you'll get by
If you smile through your pain and sorrow
Smile, and maybe tomorrow
You'll find the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness
HIde every trace of sadness
Although a tear maybe ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use in crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you'll just smile

That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use in crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you'll just smile
