Dolly Parton — A Better Place to Live

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Post-Chorus] La la la la la la la la la la la la [Verse 2] All life has to offer That's what most folks desire But offer nothing in return Because 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 [Chorus] 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 [Post-Chorus] La la la la la la la la la la la la
