Just one smile
One smile from you
Has so much power
Power and potency
-
Just one smile
One smile from you
Can bring warmth
Warmth when all is cold
-
Just one smile
One smile from you
Would lessen the misery
The misery and pain
-
Just one smile
One smile from you
Brightens the dark
The darkest of days
-
Just one smile
One smile from you
Can make all feel right
Right in the world, our world
-
But, I know
Know that one smile
Is often too hard
Hard because of hurt
-
Trust in tatters
Can it ever be sewn back together?
I live and hope
Hope and keep trying
-
Trying is all
All I can do
To make you smile
Just one smile
