'When you're smiling'

(Song made famous by Louis Armstrong during the Great Depression of the 1930s)

Oh when you're smiling,
when you're smiling,
the whole world smiles with you.

O 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,
keep on smiling,
and the whole world will smile with you."
