A simple gesture is all I need,
once a day
A secret look, a loving glance,
Eyes that swell with pride
Once a day.
A smile meant for me alone
Accompanied by a wink
Once a day
Gently touch my hair, my face
Or take my hands in yours
Once a day
Let me feel the love I know is there
A simple gesture is all I need once day
