A Better Place to Live Lyrics
Dolly Parton
Theres a bit of magic in a simple little smile
Something that just makes life seem a little more worthwhile
And theres a world of meaning in the touch of someones hand
A gentle touch that lets your brother know you understand
Oh if people would stop taking and just once try to give
We could make the world were living in a better place to live
La la la la la la la la la la la la
And if wed love one another instead of finding faults
We could afford the price of peace, love is all it costs
Oh wouldnt it be great to live and sing in harmony
Everybody take your brothers hand and sing my song with me
La la la la la la la la la la la la
All life has to offer thats what most folks desire
But offer nothing in return, cause they dont seem to care
And if wed ask to be forgiven and be willing to forgive
We could make the world were living in a better place to live
And if wed all climb together, we could climb the highest hill
We could make the world were living in a better place to live
And if wed love one another instead of finding faults
We could afford the price of peace, love is all it costs
Oh wouldnt it be great to live and sing in harmony
Everybody take your brothers hand and sing my song with me
La la la la la la la la la la la la
