Miles of smiles

If currency was smiles,
would you shortchange me love?
Would a glimmer be payment enough?

How big would love be
if measured by a grin?
To open the door
and let light shine on in.

I’m askin’
you see
’cause I don’t smile so much
Just sayin’
you see
Could you reach out and touch?

How big would love be
if measured by time?
To truly let go
of all that was mine.

I’m askin’
you see
’cause I’ve run out of smiles
Just sayin’
you see
I’ve got no more miles.
