Think today for some reason or the other I've decided to not sweat the small stuff. I've heard this so many times, but today I made a decision to really live by this motto. The song "smile" really embodies the message of being shaken but not stirred,lol.But I do think this song has lived on because each generation has realised the importance of not allowing life's obstacles take away one's inner joy and peace.
"Smile" was written in 1936 by John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons, the music was by Charlie Chaplin. Here are the lyris:
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 shinning through for you.
Light up your face with gladness, hide every trace of sadness
although a tear maybe ever so near.
That's the time you must keep on trying,smile whats the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile,if you just smile.
