Lyrics It's so Hard to Smile - Roy Acuff
I
dedicate
this
song
to
recession,
Depression
and
unemployment.
This
song's
for
you.
Today's
a
new
day,
but
there
is
no
sunshine.
Nothing
but
clouds,
and
it's
dark
in
my
heart
And
it
feels
like
a
cold
night.
Today's
a
new
day,
where
are
my
blue
skies,
Where
is
the
love
and
the
joy
that
you
promised
me
You
tell
me
it's
alright.
(I'll
be
honest
with
you)
I
almost
gave
up,
but
a
power
that
I
can't
explain,
Fell
from
heaven
like
a
shower
now.
(When
I
think
how
much
better
I'm
gonna
be
when
this
is
over)
I
smile,
even
though
I
hurt
see
I
smile,
I
know
God
is
working
so
I
smile,
Even
though
I've
been
here
for
a
while
(what
you
do?)
I
smile,
smile.
It's
so
hard
to
look
up
when
you've
been
down.
Sure
would
hate
to
see
you
give
up
now
You
look
so
much
better
when
you
smile,
so
smile.
Today's
a
new
day,
but
there
is
no
sunshine.
Nothing
but
clouds,
and
it's
dark
in
my
heart,
And
it
feels
like
a
cold
night.
Today's
a
new
day,
but
tell
me
where
are
my
blue
skies,
Where
is
the
love
and
the
joy
that
you
promised
me
You
tell
me
it's
alright.
(The
truth
is)
I
almost
gave
up,
but
a
power
that
I
can't
explain
(the
holy
ghost
power,
yo)
Fell
from
heaven
like
a
shower
now.
I
smile,
even
though
I
hurt
see
I
smile,
I
know
God
is
working
so
I
smile,
Even
though
I've
been
here
for
a
while
I
smile,
smile.
It's
so
hard
to
look
up
when
you've
been
down.
Sure
would
hate
to
see
you
give
up
now
You
look
so
much
better
when
you
smile.
Smile.
for
me
Can
you
just
smile...
for
me.
Smile.
for
me
Can
you
just
smile...
for
me.
Ohohoh
you
look
so
much
better
when
you
Ohohoh
you
look
so
much
better
when
you
Ohohoh
you
look
so
much
better
when
you
Ohohoh
you
look
so
much
better
when
you
Ohohoh
you
look
so
much
better
when
you
(And
while
your
waiting)
Ohohoh
you
look
so
much
better
when
you
(And
while
your
praying)
Ohohoh
you
look
so
much
better
when
you
(Look
in
the
mirror)
Ohohoh
you
look
so
much
better
when
you
(Always
remember)
You
look
so
much
better
when
you
smile
I
almost
gave
up,
but
a
power
that
I
can't
explain
(but
the
holy
ghost
power,
yo)
Fell
from
heaven
like
a
shower
now.
I
smile,
even
though
I
hurt
see
I
smile,
I
know
God
is
working
so
I
smile,
Even
though
I've
been
here
for
a
while
I
smile,
smile.
It's
so
hard
to
look
up
when
you've
been
down.
Sure
would
hate
to
see
you
give
up
now.
You
look
so
much
better
when
you
smile.
So
smile.

my
people
say)
you
look
so
much
better
when
you
Smile...
See
I
just
don't
want
you
to
be
happy
'Cause
you
gotta
have
something
happening.
I
want
you
to
have
joy
'Cause
can't
nobody
take
that
away
from
you.
I
see
you.
SMILE!!
