Bridge the Road to Heaven with a Smile

There is not a care in all the world

But smiles can make it light

Then smile as on your way you go;

There is not a cloud so dark

But has a sil­ver lin­ing bright

And ev­ery tri­al met is ev­en so.

You can bridge the road to Heav­en

With a sun­ny smile

And its miles of care and sor­row

With a song be­guile;

Doubt and fear will not mo­lest;

You will be su­preme­ly blest

If you bridge the road to Heav­en with a smile.

Tho’ your path­way seems the rough­est

And the rocks and thorns abound

Just smile away the ache and pain;

Tho’ the ruts are deep and mud­dy

Don’t give up and turn around

For soon the sun will shine away the rain.

Tho’ the storm may ga­ther o’er you

Foes as­sail with­out

with­in

Fear not the dan­ger or the strife;

If you smile and fight with cour­age

There is One to help you win

A crown of joy and ev­er­last­ing life.
