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 hand-clasp warm and true,
Carried with its assurance -
I know something good about you !
Wouldn't things be more pleasant,
If the good that's in all of us,
Were the only things about us,
That folks bothered to recall !
Wouldn't life be lots more happy,
If we 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 !
