Long time ago, I remember well
There was a tale the old timers tell
Of a man who rode this way one day
Just passing through not meaning to stay
When a shy young beauty he did see
A sweet image for his fantasy.
Well the story goes, they got on great
While the rest of it was left to fate
The two young folks seemed to fall in love
Quite like the wish each was dreaming of
Remember when love has a good start
Most times it pays to follow the heart !
Now you and I have been around
Among these feelings we have found
Though they are not of wide import
Somehow we’ve managed to have caught
This glow that captures happiness
And triumphs love o’er great success
For life is more than what it seems
It’s smiles and hopes and all our dreams !
The day is gray and full of gloom
There’s not a rainbow in my room
The sun itself has hid away
Refusing to come out and play
The air is heavy and morose
It’s hard to breathe and ever close !
Perhaps the weather will perk up
Before it is our time to sup
We’ll take a glass of wine or two
Remembering our rendezvous
And ask the Lord to help us spend
One evening that may never end !
When life seems poorly, sad or tragic
Please try a smile, it works like magic
It is contagious as you can see
Most all folks react like you and me.
Have you noticed those whose mouths turn down
It lends faces that unpleasant frown
What a friendly picture it could be
To see a smile, maybe two or three.
Life certainly has both ups and downs
It would be great if we saw less frowns !
The sadness of this life I see
Is absence of one thing that’s free
No matter where it is I’m at
The world about is sad and flat.
Those faces that are all around
Are full of darkness or a frown
The answer’s simple and worthwhile
How lovely if they’d share a smile !
With ready smile and gladdened hand
We’ve wandered into friendship land
Let’s turn your frown into a grin
We need your heart to let us in !
