MEANINGLESS SMILE

MEANINGLESS SMILE

I woke up to the punch line of my joke
The sunshine of my morning, afternoon, and night
The joy of my life
I arise .. my feet feel light
I lift my hands
Don't know what else to do
I just hope you feel this love for you
This song is for all you people
every creature too, why not?
Don't wave by these little things
you don't know how much you've got
Because that meaningless smile is so much
when you've lost touch
Wading in water, drinking sand
reach out your hand
One " I love you" won't tip the world's scale
But I can't see, how it could fail
I woke up to the soft whisper
in my cracking voice
I heard the good in a decision
to a difficult choice
Kinda bittersweet
But don't lose touch
Because one more meaningless smile
is so much
I can still see you taking my hand
When we took a little road trip
The journey scraped
The journey soothed
But the roads still firm
and the road is smooth
Strong, so we can stand on
You weren't a glamour star
with a set agenda
One less frown in this crowd
Always festive, not so proud
What a friend, the sweet in bittersweet
Showing that meaningless smile
meaning so much
