Verse:

I saw a blind man, he was a kind man,

Help -ing a fel-low a -long,

One could not see, one could not walk,

But they both were hum-ming this song;

 

Chorus:

When You're Smil -ing, when you're smil -ing,

The whole world smiles with you.

When you're laugh -ing, when you're laugh -ing,

The sun comes shin -ing thru,

But when you're cry -ing you bring on the rain,

So stop your sigh -ing, be hap -py a -gain.

Keep on smil -ing 'cause when you're smil -ling,

The whole world smiles with you.
