As I am working, I am thinking,
"What can I do?"
It's not like me to feel so blue---
Eugene happens by--sweeping the floor,
he says, "It must be one of those kind of days---!"
"Everybody's losing things...
What did YOU lose today?"
I wasn't trying to be funny,
I wasn't trying to be smart,
I wasn't trying to be clever,
I spoke right from my heart--
short and sweet and right to the point--I say...
"Seems I lost my smile today---"
Well Eugene busts out laughin',
if he were sittin'-- he'd have fallen off his chair!
As he's smilin', he says "that's a good one!"
the twinkle in his eye and his smilin'--He means it--- I can tell...
I wasn't trying to be funny,
I wasn't trying to be smart,
I wasn't trying to be clever,
I was just being ME.
...as if he swept my smile right up off the floor,
and handed it to me tied in a bow,
I start to smiling & laughing too...
then it hits me clear as can be....
My smile is found in the smiles all around me.....
