Wilma Groenen - Marshmallows lyrics

I watched them from the corner of a donut shop He was a lunatic who paced the floor She was blue haired lady in a suit A cup of coffee was all she could afford And so she hid her special Sunday treat Away from the clerk's sour glare And when he swept by her kicking his demons She offered him a share She had marshmallows, tiny bits of confection And he calmed right down at that unlikely show of affection Just a small kindness, somebody taking some time To show a small kindness, could be yours could be mine We keep rushing past each other saying we'll connect When we slow down But I feel the distance getting wider as we race around And around and around And the little one is wailing and I think I'm gonna cry If I just can't stop this spinning And the you ask if I have time To eat marshmallows, tiny bits of confection And I'm laughing right out loud at your silly show of affection Just a small kindness somebody taking some time To show a small kindness could be yours could be mine And it is not so very small my friend and it is not so very much To reach your hand out to a stranger and show him that there's Just one small kindness Take time
