Wishes

Angel from the église de Rouziers, Louvre


Give a Little, Get a Little

I'm on the beam, I've got a flash
On how to live in the civilisation
To make a dream come out of hash
Give a little get a little love

A morning smile, an evening kiss
Can be the pills for the ills of the nation
don't cramp your style, remember this
Give a little get a little love

No love, no hope
Then life's a dungeon so throw the sponge in
With love there's hope
Sing hey hallelu-

So take a share and share the fun
And keep the cold from this whole constellation
It's everywhere for everyone
Make a little take a little
Take a little live a little
Give a little get a little love...

And all the best to you and yours from here in the heartland of America to your heart in the middle of Paris via New Orleans and Comanche, Oklahoma. Not quite covering the globe in miles, but certainly in well wishes.

Hi Gretchen, It was written by Julie Styne, Betty Comden, and Adolph Green. It seems even more timely today. Thank you for the beautiful post. Best wishes for now and the new year. Kendra
