Pat Fortney - A Wonderful Thing Lyrics

Well it's an unusual thing
To meet someone nice
They extend a smile
Without a price

It's a wonderful day
Of a great design
To encounter a person
Modestly nice

It's a rare thing
To meet someone
Not looking for damage
When they hit and run

It's a wonderful thing
To meet someone
A simple smile for me; a smile for you
And everyone

You know these days
They're all out for number one
They won't give it a thought
To see you come undone

Common courtesy
Has gone by the wayside
It's a dog-eat-world
With vicious appetites

So it's unusual
To meet someone kind
Don't take it for granted
They only come along once or twice

When you find yourself
In interaction that's quite polite
Cherish every moment; be grateful
It's such a rare delight
