Smiles are a great joy.

One of life's blessings? To share

Laughter all around.

Let this day not fade.

Embrace every touch of joy

crossing before you.

I repeat myself.

My whispers of love to you

fade into the night.

I can't remember

the joyful dreams of my youth.

Please God, bring them back.

I cast a quick glance

at the beauty of your form.

Won't you meet my gaze?

I have been made small

by others, but I need not

keep myself that way.

I still dream of you.

At night the thrill of your touch

Is everlasting.
