Lyrics

With a (Am)smile and a (Dm7)song,

life is (Am)just like a (Dm7)bright sun ny (G7)day, your (C)cares fade a way,

and your (G7)heart is (C)young.

With a (Am)smile and a (Dm7)song,

all the (Am)world seems to (Dm7)wak en a (G7)new, re (C)joic ing with you,

as the (G7)song is (C)sung.

There’s no (Fdim7)use in (C)grum bling, when (G7)rain drops come (Cm)tum bling.

Re (G)mem ber you’re the (D7)one

who can (Dm7)fill the world with (G7)sun

shine.

When you (Am)smile and you (Dm7)sing,

ev ’ry (Am)thing is in (Dm7)tune and it’s (G7)spring and (C)life flows a long,

with a (G7)smile and a (C)song.
