Get you to smile, maybe

I'll sing you a song

whistle a soft tune or,

rustle up a new melody, maybe.

Tinker with some tools; tall

build you a castle, in line

decorated with roses and lilies, maybe.

Call the circus, host a show fine

Make the clowns go round a-round

Jump on the trapeze, break a leg, maybe

Voyage with the treasure map, bound

in search of pirates' gold, you at the wheel

'Aye, aye Captain!' I'll shout, maybe

Or simply , with a promise, I shall kneel

and hold you close, gentle after;

get you to smile, maybe.
