[Verse 1] The clouds are hanging heavy, the sky is turning grey And all the gold of morning has started fading away The road ahead is dusty, and the wind is blowing cold But I’ve got a little secret that the world has never told. [Chorus] I’m just smilin’ through the shadows, smilin’ through the rain Finding where the sunlight hides behind the windowpane It doesn’t take a fortune, just a little bit of light To keep the heart a-beating and the spirit shining bright Yeah, I’m smilin’ through, just smilin’ through. [Verse 2] Sometimes the plans we’re making don’t turn out quite the same And life can play a trick or two inside this crazy game But there’s no use in weeping over dreams that didn't fly When there’s a brand new rainbow waiting in the evening sky. [Chorus] I’m just smilin’ through the shadows, smilin’ through the rain Finding where the sunlight hides behind the windowpane It doesn’t take a fortune, just a little bit of light To keep the heart a-beating and the spirit shining bright Yeah, I’m smilin’ through, just smilin’ through. [Bridge] It’s easy to be happy when the world is in your hand But the real song starts to happen when things don't go as planned Keep your chin up to the weather, let the worries roll on by There’s a silver lining waiting if you only try to spy. [Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break] [Chorus] I’m just smilin’ through the shadows, smilin’ through the rain Finding where the sunlight hides behind the windowpane It doesn’t take a fortune, just a little bit of light To keep the heart a-beating and the spirit shining bright Yeah, I’m smilin’ through, just smilin’ through. [Outro] Smilin’ through the heartaches... Smilin’ through the day... Watch the little troubles Just melt away. Smilin' through.
