Lyrics
When you're smilin'
When you're smilin'
The whole world smiles with you
When you're laughin'
Oh, when you're laughin'
The sun comes shining through
But when you're cryin'
You bring out the rain
So stop your sighin'
Be happy again
Keep on smilin'
'Cause when you're smilin'
The whole world smiles with you
