When A Hand Is On Your Shoulder ~ BJ.Morbitzer ~ Living Each Day

When a person hasn't got a cent
and is feeling kind of blue,
And the clouds hang thick and dark
and won't let the sunshine through,

It's a great thing, Oh my brethren,
For a person just to lay,
His hand upon your shoulder
in a friendly sort of way...

It makes the tear drops start,
And you kind of feel a flutter in the region of your heart.

You can't look up and meet the eye,
You don't know what to say
when a hand is on your shoulder
in a friendly sort of way...

Oh this world's a curious compound
with it's honey and it's gall;
It's cares and bitter crosses,
But a good world after all.

And a good God must have made it,
Leastwise that is what I say,
When a hand is on your shoulder
in a friendly sort of way.
