Lyrics Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton

A Better Place to Live

There's a bit of magic in a simple little smile

Something that just makes life seem a little more worthwhile

And there's a world of meaning in the touch of someone's hand

A gentle touch that let's your brother know you understand

Oh if people would stop taking and just once try to give

We could make the world we're living in a better place to live

La la la la la la la la la la la la

And if we'd love one another instead of finding faults

We could afford the price of peace, love is all it costs

Oh wouldn't it be great to live and sing in harmony

Everybody take your brother's hand and sing my song with me

La la la la la la la la la la la la

All life has to offer that's what most folks desire

But offer nothing in return, cause they don't seem to care

And if we'd ask to be forgiven and be willing to forgive

We could make the world we're living in a better place to live

And if we'd all climb together, we could climb the highest hill

We could make the world we're living in a better place to live

And if we'd love one another instead of finding faults

We could afford the price of peace, love is all it costs

Oh wouldn't it be great to live and sing in harmony

Everybody take your brother's hand and sing my song with me

La la la la la la la la la la la la
