A song
by Robert Palmer




You can’t always tell

If they love your song

Or you.

You look and see a smile

Or a sparkle in their eye,

Body, heart and soul

Feeling deep within,

The music or words of your song.

So you sing it

As you mean it

With all your heart.

The love will surely shine thru.

You give it all you got

Each and every song,

Let your love show shine out

you’ll see that smile

And the starlight in their eyes.

They’ll hum your song

Day and night

Feeling your love,

They continue to carry the bright light

You started with a song.
