Lyrics

  1. Ev’ry day can’t be a day of sunshine
    We must have the gray days with the fair
    Don’t you be complaining
    If you have a rainy day
    A smile from you will drive the clouds away

Chorus
Just keep on smiling, when you’re feeling lonely
Just keep on smiling, when you’re feeling blue
For all the sunshine, can’t come at one time
You’ll get your share of gladness, too
So don’t be grieving, keep on make believing
Pretend you’re happy, learn how to smile
And joy and laughter, will follow after
So keep on smiling all the while

  1. Ev’ry cloud must have a silver lining
    You can find it if you only try
    Change your blues to gladness
    And your sadness will be gone
    The darkest hour is just before the dawn
