Wouldn't it be??

Wouldn't this old world be betterIf 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 dandyIf each handclasp warm and trueCarried with it this assurance, "I know something good about you!"

Wouldn't life be lots more happy,If the good that's in us allWere the only things about usThat folks bothered to recall?

Wouldn't life be lots more happy,If we praised the good we see?For there's such a lot of goodnessIn the worst of you and me.

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