                I met someone nice today.

                I said: "I met someone nice today".

                  Please - I'm over here, look -

                  No, not in your book.

                I met someone nice today.

                  

                Someone smiled at me today.

                Someone smiled at me, I say -

                  With a warm, friendly smile

                  And a kindly profile.

                Someone smiled at me today.

                 

                Someone had time to listen.

                Someone had time to listen.

                  They were not in great haste

                  With no time to waste.

                I said: "Someone found time to listen."

                 

                Someone spoke to me today,

                With a voice that was sunny and gay -

                  With more than a grunt

                  Or two words very blunt.

                Someone spoke to me today.

                 

                We're meeting again tomorrow.

                I said: "We're meeting again tomorrow".

                  I thought I'd drop you a word,

                  But I doubt if you heard.

                We’re going somewhere special tomorrow.
