Verse 1:
A smiling [Fm/C]face is;
On earth like star.
A frown can’t bring out,
The beauty that you are.
Love within and you’ll begin;
Smi…ling.
There’re brighter days a-head.[Eb/G][C#/G]
Verse 2:
Don’t mess your [Fm/C]face up,
With bitter tears,
‘Cos life is gon -na,
Be what it is.
It’s okay, please don’t delay,
From smi…ling.
There’re brighter days a-head.
Chorus 1:
Bum, bum bum, di ti,
Bum, bum bum, di ti,
Bum bum bum, di ti bum…
Bum, bum bum, di ti,
Bum, bum bum, di ti,
Bum bum bum, di ti bum…
Verse 3:
A smiling [Fm/C]face you,
Don’t have to see.
‘Cos it’s as joy -ful,
As a Christmas tree.
Love within and you’ll begin;
Smi…ling.
There’re brighter days a-head.[Eb/G][C#/G]
Verse 4:
Love’s not com-[Fm/C]pe -ting;
It’s on your side.
You’re in life pic -ture,
So why must you cry?
So for a friend, please begin,
To smile, ple…ase.
There’re brighter days a-head.

Bum, bum bum, di ti,
Bum, bum bum, di ti,
Bum bum bum, di ti bum…

Bum bum bum, di ti bum…

Bum, bum bum, di ti,
Bum bum bum, di ti bum…
