In the quiet of the fading night

I ponder under the pale moonlight

Why can't you spare a glance my way

A little attention to brighten my day

Why can't you give me just a little smile

A sign that makes this all worthwhile

Why can't we talk just a bit more

Open up let our spirits soar

The city sleeps but I'm awake

With every silent breath I take

Why can't you send a word or two

A simple message to help me through

Why can't you give me just a little smile

A sign that makes this all worthwhile

Why can't we share a moment's peace

In this life's puzzle be my missing piece

I'm not asking for your heart to sway

Or for you to brighten up my every day

But a friend's touch a friend's reply

Could lift my soul be my missing piece

I'm not asking for your heart to sway

Or for you to brighten up my every day

But a friend's touch a friend's reply

Could lift my soul make it fly

As dawn breaks I face the sun

Another day has just begun

Why can't you see the friend in me

Standing by you faithfully

Why can't you give me just a little smile

A sign that makes this all worthwhile

Why can't we build a bridge not a wall

With just a little more not asking for it all

So here I stand with open arms

Amidst life's charms and its alarms

I'll be the friend through thick and thin

With just a little more we both could win
