It's only one day,
But it causes a lot
Of work and
Trouble.

People rush to the
Stores and pour
Out their cash
For a smile?

You can have
One of those
So easily, just give
A little of you.

It's all we want, really.
A look of understanding
A voice that soothes
A gentle touch.

Fly like a sleigh in the sky
With just one special
Look of
Love.

Take me in your arms
And tell me that
You love me and that
Everything's fine.

Then it's not just one day
Of work and wasted trouble:
Then we see the morning's rays,
And it's a day of days.
