Help identify a Classic Musical
The song that goes "Smile though your heart is breaking..."
A coworker told me it was a trademark tune from Charlie Chaplin but of course it wouldnt of had words.
So, when did it get the words--a newer movie? What context was it sung in? From what kind of person? about what?
Any help would be appreciated!

The music score was composed by Chaplin himself. The romance theme was later given words and became better known as the song "Smile" ("Smile though your heart is breaking...") and was covered by such artists as Liberace and Nat King Cole.
