Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by...
If you smile
With your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just...
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just...

actress Brooke Shields.
Brooke Shields reference to Michael as the Little Prince was very moving.
"What moves me so deeply, about this sleeping prince...is his loyalty to a flower--the image of a rose shining within him like a flame within a lamp, even when he's asleep. And I realized he was even more fragile than I had thought. Lamps must be protected. A gust of wind can blow them out."
"Eyes are blind. You have to look with the heart. What's most important is invisible."
She said that her friend, Michael Jackson, always looked at everything with his heart.
But the most moving speech of the service would have to be Paris' speech. It brings me to tears every time.
"Ever since I was born Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine. And I just want to say I love him so much."
