You really should accept
this time he's gone for good
he'll never come back now
even though he said he would
so, darling, dry your eyes
so many other guys
would give the world i'm sure
to wear the shoes he wore
Oh, c'mon smile a little smile for me, rosemarie
what's the use in cryin' ?
in a little while you'll see, rosemarie
you must keep on tryin'
i know that he hurt you bad
i know, darling, don't be sad and
smile a little smile for me, rosemarie, rosemarie
I guess you're lonely now
love's comin' to an end
but, darling, only now
are you free to try again
lift up your pretty chin
don't let those tears begin
you're a big girl now
and you'll pull through somehow
Oh, c'mon smile a little smile for me, rosemarie
what's the use in cryin'?
in a little while you'll see, rosemarie
you must keep on tryin'
i know that he hurt you bad
i know, darling, don't be sad and
smile a little smile for me, rosemarie, rosemarie
<brief instrumental interlude>
Smile a little smile for me, rosemarie, rosemarie
