A SMILE WHEN YOU
WANT TO SIGH. ,
The storm, with never a warnm ,
The shadders in the shy,
But—-tellin'. the worl’ good mornin’
With a smile, when you want a
sigh!
When you wake from your lonesome
dreamin’,
An' the teardrop dims the eye,
Say Sorrow is only seemin’;
A smile, when you want to sigh.
When the homeless wind is grievin
For roses as they die.
An’ the light o’ the worl’ you re
leavin —
A smile, when you want to sigh.
