girl_jane It has a video tape of a really pretty woman singing this:

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
With your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile if you'll
just...
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'll just...
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 find that life is still worthwhile
If you'll just Smile...

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'll just Smile.

If somebody knows-please tell me...it's really bothering me that I can't think of it...

girl_jane Right-My Girl 2 wasn't something I'd like to watch over and over again...

niska how did you transcribe the song so well, without knowing where it was from?

just curious...

...
girl_jane I knew what the song was. It's actually the theme to "Modern Times" which, I believe, is from '39. It's a well-known song in general. I just couldn't remember where I heard it... 030426
...
girl_jane Oh yes, lyrics are all over the net... 030426
...
