WHAT'S IN A KISS AND HUG,
THAT MAKES YOU FEEL SO GREAT,
THAT TINGLES YOU FROM HEAD TO TOES,
THAT MAKES YOU ANTICIPATE...
THE NEXT ONE TO COME ALONG,
FROM SOMEONE WHO IS DEAR,
A LOVED ONE, A FRIEND, OR A LOVER,
AND IT BRINGS SUCH WONDERFUL CHEER...
IT STARTS AS A SIMPLE ACT OF TOUCH,
THAT MEANS SO VERY MUCH,
IT MAY BE TO SAY GOOD-BYE,
OR LETS JUST KEEP IN TOUCH...
IT'S USED TO SHOW LOVE AND CARE,
FOR THOSE WHO MAY BE DOWN,
ALSO FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN LOVE,
OR TO WASH AWAY A FROWN...
EVERYONE IS DOING IT,
EVEN BABIES WITH STICKY FACES,
MOM'S WHO KISS AWAY THEIR TEARS,
THAT TRAIL DOWN DIRTY FACES...
THE OLD WOMAN SITTING IN A CHAIR,
SHE LOST HER LIFE LONG LOVE,
SHE IS WEEPING FOR HER LOVED ONE,
AND IS GIVEN A LONG CARING HUG...
IT MAKES US CLOSER I THINK,
TO EVERYONE WHO SHARES,
A HUG AND A KISS IS SUCH A SPECIAL TREAT,
AND SHOWS THAT SOMEONE YOU REALLY CARE...
WHAT IS IN A HUG AND A KISS,
THAT MAKES THE WORLD SEEM RIGHT,
IT WASHES AWAY A TEAR,
OR CONSOLES US AFTER A FIGHT...
IF ALL THE WORLD WOULD GIVE JUST ONE,
TO EVERYONE THEY KNOW,
THERE WOULD BE NO ENEMIES OR WAR,
THERE WOULD BE ONLY PEACE WE'D KNOW...
SO HUG SOMEONE TODAY,
AND PLACE A KISS UPON THEIR CHEEK,
LETS ALL DO OUR PART,
TO SPREAD LOVE AND HOPE AND PEACE...
THIS IS SUCH A POWERFUL THING,
IT ISN'T FATTENING, IMMORAL OR WRONG,
THAT BRIGHTENS OUR DAY AND TUGS AT OUR HEARTS,
THIS LITTLE KISS AND HUG, WILL MAKE THE WORLD GET ALONE.
