Lyrics

There's times when I'm out, and times when I'm down
Times when I'm loose and times when I'm bound
It don't bother me 'cause I let it be
And just keep on smilin' (Keep on smilin')
There's times when I will, and times when I won't
Times when I do and times when I don't
It don't bother me 'cause I let it be
And just keep on smilin' (Keep on smilin')
I find the world looks a far better place
When there's a smile on my face
It ain't no use when we get on around
But you lay down on the ground
There's times when I'm high and times when I'm low
There's times when I'm fast and times when I'm slow
It don't bother me 'cause I let it be
And just keep on smilin' (Keep on smilin')
Smilin'
I find the world looks a better place
When I show a smile on my face
It ain't no use if I get around
My chin lay down on the ground
There's times when I give and times when I take
Times when I'm down and times when I pray
And all the way through I do what I do
It don't cost a dime or take too much time
You might disagree but we let it be
I just keep on smilin' (Keep on smilin')
Oh, you might disagree but we let it be
I just keep on smilin' (Keep on smilin')
It don't cost a dime or take too much time
I just keep on smilin' (Keep on smilin')
I just keep on smilin' (Keep on smilin')
Keep on smilin' (Keep on smilin')
Keep on smilin' (Keep on smilin')
Keep on smilin' (Keep on smilin')
