Don Williams — A Handful Of Dust

[Intro] Handful of dust, handfuls of dust True love makes perfect these handfuls of dust [Verse 1] Well break us down by our elements And you might think He failed We're not copper for one penny or even iron for one nail And a dollar would be plenty to buy twenty of us 'Til true love is added to these handfuls of dust [Chorus] A handful of dust, a handful of dust Sums up the richest and poorest of us And true love makes priceless the worthless Whenever it is added to these handfuls of dust [Verse 2] However small though our worth may be When shared between two hearts Is evermore than it would ever be Measured on it's own apart And our half what it could be is now twice what it was When true love is added to these handfuls of dust [Chorus] A handful of dust, a handful of dust Sums up the richest and poorest of us And true love makes priceless the worthless Whenever it is added to these handfuls of dust Handful of dust Sums up the richest and poorest of us And true love makes priceless the worthless Whenever it is added to these handfuls of dust
