(
Complete Medley )

- Smile, though your heart is aching,
- smile, even though it's breaking!
- When there are clouds in the sky,
- you'll get by!
- If you smile through your fear an'
sorrow,
- smile and maybe tomorrow,
- you'll see the sun come shining
through
- for you!
-
- Light up your face with gladness,
- hide
every trace of sadness,
- although a tear may be ever so
near,
- that's the time you must keep on
tryin',
- smile, what's the use of cryin' ?
- you'll find that life is still
worthwhile,
- if you'll just smile!
-
- < instrumental break >

-
- How much do I love you?
- I'll tell you no lie,
- how deep is the ocean,
- how high is the sky?
-
- How many times a day
- do I think of you?
- How many roses
- are sprinkled with dew?
-
- How far would I travel
- to be where you are?
- How far is the journey
- from here to a star?
-
- And if I ever lost you,
- how much would I cry?
- How deep is the ocean,
- how high is the sky?
-
- < instrumental break >
-
- And if I ever lost you,
- how much would I cry?
- How deep is the ocean,
- how high is the sky?
-
- One dream in my heart,
- one love to be living for,
- one love to be living for,
- this nearly was mine!
-
- One girl for my dreams,
- one partner in paradise,
- this promise of paradise,
- this nearly was mine!
-
- Close to my heart she came,
- only to fly away!
- Only to fly as day
- flies from moonlight!
-
- Now, now I'm alone
- still dreaming of paradise,
- still sayin' that paradise
- once nearly was mine!
-
- < instrumental break >
-
- Only to fly as day
- flies from moonlight!
-
- Now, now I'm alone
- still dreaming of paradise,
- still sayin' that paradise
- once nearly was mine!
-
- You are never far away from me,
- When we part I hold your memories
- When day has flown . . .
- And through the lonely night,
- I’m not alone!
