January 11:  You’ll find that life is still worthwhile… “Smile”, sung here by Tony Bennett.  This song is based on an instrumental theme used in the soundtrack for Charlie Chaplin‘s 1936 movie Modern Times.  Chaplin composed the music, inspired by Puccini‘s Tosca.  John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons added the lyrics and title in 1954.  Thanks to Adele Bayer for the suggestion.  LYRICS & SONGFACTS   SPOTIFY
