Don Williams - A Handful of DustLyrics

Break us down by our elements and you might think he failed We're not copper for one penny or even iron for one nail And a dollar would be plenty to buy twenty of us Until true love is added to these handfuls of dust Handful of dust, handful of dust Sums up the richest and poorest of us True love makes priceless the worthless Whenever it's added to a handful of dust However small though our worth may be when shared between two hearts Is even more than it would ever be, measured on its own apart And our half what it could be is now twice what it was When true love is added to these handfuls of dust Handful of dust, handful of dust Sums up the richest, poorest of us True love makes priceless the worthless Whenever it's added to a handful of dust Handful of dust, handful of dust Sums up the richest, poorest of us True love makes priceless the worthless Whenever it's added to a handful of dust
