When you're smiling
When you're smiling
The whole world smiles with you

When you're laughing
When you're laughing
The sun comes shining through

But when you're crying
You bring on the rain
So stop your sighing
Be happy again

Keep on smiling
Cause when you're smiling
The whole world smiles with you

When you're smiling
When you're smiling
The whole world smiles with you

When you're laughing
When you're laughing
That sun comes shining through

But when you're crying
You bring on the rain
So stop your sighing
Be happy again
