Your Face Won'T Crack

YOUR FACE WON'T CRACK Woke up this morning to brilliant sunshine What a way to start the day My spirits couldn't be higher Old Mister Sol and I go back a way When he drops by, can't wipe off this grin From my very ancient mug Amazing how Sol can affect our moods You could call it a happiness drug Only happy thoughts should fill our brains Maybe lost a bunch on the markets But we pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off And banish the gloom and darkness Each day's filled with promise and opportunity So smile and hang on for dear life There's bound to be good stuff just up ahead Coz you don't get to go around twice So smile damn it... YOUR FACE WON'T CRACK

It's the ONLY way to survive!!! The key is a positive outlook!!! At times things happen that make it difficult but eventually the sun will shine again! Trust me!!!
