A pretty smile from far away
causes solitary thought to stray
melts some of the lonely feeling
before I retire and conclude the long day

In my eyes you'd see I'm falling asleep
they're dry and I'm too empty to weep
but your smile gives me a moment to keep
and to think of something softer than counting sheep

The one I belong to says nothing
and on her side she always does keep
and the one I've fallen for won't with me leap
so my lonely mountain feels hopelessly steep

But your smile is warm and bright
and I feel your shy blush this night
aware someone feels your spirit
upon a pure smile of delicate pearly white

A new day I wish to you...wish me goodnight!
