In the time it takes to say, I love you,
You can speak a word of fear.
It takes no longer to make someone smile,
Than it takes to bring a tear.
How long does it take to make someone laugh?
No longer than to make him cry.
Why not choose, then, to love instead of hate,
Bring smiles instead of sighs?
The sound of laughter will thrill you too,
And be music to your ears.
It takes no longer to love than to hate
And the joy will last for years.
