I KNOW SOMETHING GOOD ABOUT YOU


Wouldn't this old world be better, If the folks we meet would say: I know something good about you, And then treat us just that way!

Wouldn't it be fine and dandy, If each handclasp warm and true Carried with it this assurance -- I know something good about you!

Wouldn't things here be more pleasant, If the good that's in us all Were the only things about us That folks bothered to recall!

Wouldn't life be lots more happy If we'd praise the good we see For there's such a lot of goodness In the worst of you and me!

Wouldn't it be nice to practice This fine way of thinking too; You know something good about me, I know something good about you!
