"Smile" is a song based on an instrumental theme
used in the soundtrack for the 1936 Charlie Chaplin
movie Modern Times. Chaplin composed the music,
while John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons added the
lyrics and title in 1954. In the lyrics, the singer
is telling the listener to cheer up and that there
is always a bright tomorrow, just as long as they
smile. "Smile" has become a popular standard since
its original use in Chaplin's film.
