Living Hand In Hand
sung by Gordon (Roscoe Orman) and Susan (Loretta Long)
from the album "Bert & Ernie's Sing-Along"
Susan: [Go on, Gordon.]
Gordon: When skies are grey and days are dark
And life kinda gets you down
Don't sit, knit your brows and frown
Don't jump in the creek and drown
Reach out one time to find a friend
And then you will understand
That life's worth living
Living hand in hand
Susan: When you're feeling downhearted
When you're lower than dust
When you're feeling so downright mean
You could practically bust
When your friends have departed
And there isn't a good thing you can see
Reach out your hand, baby
You can lean on me
Both: The more you want me near you
The nearer I'll be
I'm reaching out to cheer you
And you can lean on me
The more the joy of giving
The greater the gift
So share the life you're living
And see your spirits lift
repeat first two verses overlapping each other
The more you want me near you
The nearer I'll be
I'm reaching out to cheer you
And you can lean on me
The more the joy of giving
The greater the gift
So share the life you're living
And see your spirits lift
It's beautiful to live your life
With people who understand
That life's worth living
Living hand in hand
Yes, life's worth living
Living hand in ...
Living, living, living hand in hand!
