Once, just once, bestow a smile,
From the lips, a fleeting style.
With a tender, whispered grace,
Unleash a hundred lightning's trace,
Once, just once,
Just once, bestow a smile.
Hearing the heart's lament, my plea,
As you gather your veil carefully,
With a blush, your head you bow,
Once, just once, right here and now,
Just once, bestow a smile.
Caught between a yes and no,
What to grasp, and what to let go?
If words are lost, a gentle art,
Tell me with your knowing heart,
Your meaning, softly impart.
These tender buds, so newly born,
The blooms that grace the summer morn,
The garden waits, in silent plea,
For a touch of levity,
A single laugh, wild and free.
Lift your veil, let it descend,
And the longings of all, transcend,
Once, just once, bestow a smile.
