When You're Smiling (The Whole World Smiles with You) Songtext
von Rufus Wainwright

When you're smiling, when you're smiling
The whole world smiles with you
When you're laughing, when you're laughing
The sun comes shining through

But when you're crying, you bring on the rain
So stop that sighing, be happy again
When you're smiling, keep on smiling
The whole world smiles with you


If you suddenly find out you've been deceived, don't get peeved
If your husband bluntly tells you you're too stout, don't you pout
And for Heaven's sakes, retain a calm demeanor
If a cop walks up and hands you a subpoena
If the groom should take a powder while you're marching down the aisle
Don't weep and moan because he's blown, just face the world and smile

'Cause when you're crying, don't you know, that your make-up starts to run?
And your eyes get red and scrappy
Forget your troubles, have yourself a little fun
Have a ball, forget it all
Forget your troubles, come on get happy!
When you're smiling
'Cause when you're smiling, the whole world smiles with you!
