Someone smiled at me today
To that someone I smiled back
Have to say it felt real good
Felt like something understood
Took me out of my dismay
Brought my senses back on track
Watched as she walked down the street
Thought it would be nice to meet
Up I stood and walked away
Confident I had the knack
I walked slow and felt so cool
Nicer contrast to the fool
It’s amazing how this works
How a smile transforms us berkes
