There’s something in a simple hug
That always warms the heart.
It welcomes us back home
And makes it easier to part
A hug’s a way to share the joy
And sad times we go through,
Or just a way for friends to say
They like you ‘cause you’re you
Hugs are meant for anyone
For whom we really care,
From your grandma to yourneighbour,
Or a cuddly teddy bear
A hug is an amazing thing –
It’s just the perfect way
To show the love we’re feeling
But can’t find the words to say
It’s funny how little hug
Makes everyone feel good;
In every place and type,
It’s always understood
And hugs don’t need new equipment,
Special batteries or parts
Just open up your arms
And open up your hearts.
