About the Song
   Other avaliable versions of this music sheet: Version 1  Version 2  
"Smile" is a pop song, originally used as an instrumental theme in the soundtrack for the 1936 Charlie Chaplin movie Modern Times. Chaplin composed the music, while the words were written by John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons. In the lyrics, the singer is telling the listener to cheer up and that there is always a bright tomorrow, just as long as they smile. "Smile" has become a popular standard since its original use in Chaplin's film. Michael Jackson recorded the song for his 1995 double album HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I. It was planned for single release in 1997 but was canceled days before its release date. It has been said that this was due to Jackson not being happy with the commercial video release.[citation needed] Only a few copies from The Netherlands, Germany and South Africa (where the record distribution was started previous to the withdrawal) were saved as the other.    Download this sheet!

In a review of the book Chaplin: A Life (2008), Martin Sieff writes: "Chaplin was not just 'big', he was gigantic. In 1915, he burst onto a war-torn world bringing it the gift of comedy, laughter and relief while it was tearing itself apart through World War I. Over the next 25 years, through the Great Depression and the rise of Hitler, he.
