Youve got to learn to show a happy face
Although youre full of misery
You mustnt show a trace of sadness
Never look for sympathy
Youve got to learn although its very hard
The way of pocketing your pride
Sometimes face humiliation
While you were burning up inside
Facing reality is often hard to do
When it seems happiness is gone
Youve got to learn to hide your tears
And tell your heart life must go on
Youve got to learn to leave the table
When loves no longer being served
To show everybody that youre able
To leave without saying a word
Youve got to learn to hide your sorrow
And go on living as before
What good is thinking of tomorrow
Who knows what it may have in store
Youve got to learn to be much stronger
At times your head must rule your heart
Youve got to learn from hard experience
And listen to advice
And sometimes pay the price
And learn to live with a broken heart
