Lyrics
English
A smile is quite a funny thing
It wrinkles up your face
And when it’s gone
You will never find
Its secret hiding place
But far more wonderful it is
To see what smiles can do
You smile at one
He smiles at you
And so one smile
Makes two.
It wrinkles up your face
And when it’s gone
You will never find
Its secret hiding place
But far more wonderful it is
To see what smiles can do
You smile at one
He smiles at you
And so one smile
Makes two.
Summary
The poem describes the simple but wonderful nature of a smile. A smile wrinkles the face slightly, and when it disappears, its secret hiding place cannot be found. The poem focuses especially on the way a smile can spread from one person to another. When one person smiles at another, the other person smiles back. Thus, one smile can create two smiles, showing the positive and joyful effect of kindness.
