Don't Leave the House Without Smiling
Sometimes when breakfast is over,
And the dishes are lying about
And you're on your way to work, my love,
Sometimes I long to cry out:You don't have to kiss me
If you don't want to kiss me,
If goodbye kisses will cause your delay,
But don't leave the house without smiling
Or I'll never get through the day.
Some mornings,
You frown and turn your head,
You grab your coat and run.
All afternoon,
I wonder what I've said,
I wonder what I've done.
You don't have to hold me
If you don't care to hold me,
If you're not willing, then I'll understand.
But don't leave the house without smiling,
That's all that I ever demand.
Oh, my darling, don't you see?
Dreams must be built on something,
And smiles are almost enough for me.
