Lyric - Smile (Charlie Chaplin, 1936)

Composer: Charlie Chaplin, 1936
Writer: John Turner & Geoffrey Parsons



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 see the sun come shining through for you.

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.

Lyric - Don't Make Me Over (Dionne Warwick, 1962)

Written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, 1962
Dionne Warwick



Don't make me over
Now that I'd do anything for you
Don't make me over
Now that you know how I adore you

Don't pick on the things I say
the things I do
Just love me with all my faults
that way that I love you
I'm begging you

Don't make me over
Now that I can't make it without you
Don't make me over
I wouldn't change one thing about you

Just take me inside your arms
and hold me tight
And always be by my side
If I am wrong or right
I'm begging you

Don't make me over
Don't make me over
Now that you've got me at your command

Accept me for what I am
Accept me for the things that I do
Accept me for what I am
Accept me for the things that I do
