Philippe Quint – TRANSCEND Media Service

Charles Chaplin’s Theme from Modern Times: Smile

To mark the 130th anniversary of Chaplin in 2019, Grammy-nominated violinist Philippe Quint released a new album, Chaplin’s ‘Smile.’ Lyrics below video.

LYRICS:

Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it’s breaking
When there are clouds in the sky

You’ll get by if you smile
With your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near

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

Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it’s breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You’ll get by

If you smile
Through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

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