Reach Out And Touch And Somebody Who Needs A Hand 05:10
lyrics
buy track
A pat, a hug sincere and true can help a friend Who's sad and blue And the moments that are spent together, be a complement One may never know how much a handclasp or a friendly touch Can mean to someone in despair when we show concern and care When you find yourself alone living on a lonely island Lost in the middle of a foggy sea with no love of your own What you need to do is reach out for me Chorus: Extend to one another a friendly hand of love For we are emissaries of our father up above Reach out with a helping hand Or by folding them in prayer Let those folks who are in need know that someone is there All you have to do is reach out and touch somebody who needs a hand Restoring hope when there is none is half the battle And can be won By a simple act of love given with God's help above So reach out While there still is time to change the outlook and the clime To one of peace and happiness with a bit of cheer and tenderness When you find yourself alone living on a lonely island Lost in the middle of a foggy sea with no love of your own Look over yonder and you will see That there is someone waiting home for you Repeat Chorus Everyone needs to help those people Reach out their human hands To the poor and needy children all around the world So if we start giving Why not reach out and touch somebody's hand And that will make life better for us Repeat Chorus and fade out

Give A Gift Of Joy And Wonder Every Day 04:27

One moment of caring for someone else in need With a heart of compassion to go with the deed One moment of sharing, too, lessens one load Just a little candle can light up the road If there's no joyous way To give a festive precious Christmas gift, give love away Chorus 1: Give a gift of joy and wonder every day To someone in despair, so he can live happily ever after What somebody needs is a Christmas gift To light up his life in a radiant way Lend him a hand by sending love 'Cause love is the present you give on Christmas Day One moment of loving is good for the soul It's something I know - not what I've been told Remember the message: it's plain as can be Ye do unto others, Ye do unto Me If there is a joyful way To give a festive special Christmas gift, don't take love away Chorus 2: Give a gift of joy and wonder every day To someone in despair, so he can live happily ever after What somebody needs is a Christmas gift To light up his life in a brilliant way Lend him a hand by sending love 'Cause love is the present you give on Christmas Day Oo, what a sweet sensation That we share the love with Someone else Oo, what a sweet reward That love means more to You Love means a lot to You and it's always Heaven's gift to You Repeat Chorus 1 and fade out
