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!
