There's Sunshine In A SmileLife is a mixture of sunshine and rain,

Laughter and pleasure, teardrops and pain,All days can't be bright, but it's certainly true,

There was never a cloud the sun didn't shine through-So just keep on smiling whatever betide you,

And you'll find when you smile your day will be brighterAnd all of your burdens will seem much lighter-For each time you smile you will find it is trueSomebody, Somewhere will Smile Back At You,

And nothing on earth can make life more worthwhileThan the sunshine and warmth of a Beautiful Smile.
