so long, bryant park project
to my surprise, the npr show, the bryant park project, ended today. i listened, as i faithfully do when i drive to work solo, and bid it farewell. the show's favorite song of the day, appropriately, made me smile. it actually made me think of david. dan zanes, the artist behind the song, must be as lucky as i am to have a "david" in his life. thought i would share the lyrics:
every time I think of you,
smile for a while
that's the one thing you always do
smile smile smile
acting out stories and hugging your friends
smile for a while
i know what i'll do when i see you again
i'm gonna smile smile smile
chorus:
like ripples in a pond
or runners who pass the baton
good feelings will go on for mile after mile
and your big heart circles the world
every time that you smile
doing those voices and telling your jokes
smile for a while
your crazy hairdos and your thriftshop coats
smile smile smile
every time you break into a broadway song
smile for a while
the whole world starts singing along
smile smile smile
well you know i love you and i'm glad you're my friend
smile for a while
you know what i'll do when i see you again
smile smile smile
